Unlike Infiniband, iWARP runs on top of TCP/IP and thus is routable.

Thanks, Richard.
So, is that also apply to iWARP? If there is an IP router in between the path,
iWARP would not work, right?

RDMA only works over layer2 Ethernet. If you have an IP router in path it

For long haul infiniband we use buffer devices, such as obsidian longbows,
to sustain throughput over the long haul.
