I have not tried the OFED 1.2 IPoIB bonding kernel driver, and can only
speak for the userspace IPoIB HA ipoib_ha.pl script.
Both Topspin IPoIB and OFED IPoIB have active/passive IPoIB high
availability, neither can aggregate IPoIB throughput, and neither has
SDP high availability.
We will have Tosppin driver SLES10 drivers in beta soon, let me know if
you are interested.

Subject: [ofa-general] infiniband bonding/merging/aggregation
with SDP and/orVERBS
Hi all!
We are trying to bond two ports on 1 HCA so that we are able
aggregate the throughput. We are also interested in bonding ports of
different HCA's.
Is this possible with the OFED driver? If so, can you give the
command?
We know TopSpin has support for this feature. Sadly, Topspin has
no driver that runs on our system (SLES 10).
We currently installed OFED-1.2 of 20070306 and the stable
OFED-1.1 driver, but we can't figure out how this bonding is started in
either versions. It is important that we offload the bonding. We don't
want to use the standard linux bonding. That is why we think that
bonding over different HCA's is not going to work. Is this assumption
correct?
Is bonding possible when running SDP? And VERBS?
Greetings
Koen
