Hallo,

After I installed the OFED (1.4 beta), I noticed a drop in TCP
performance via Infiniband: from 10 GBit/s to less than 8 GBit/s.
Is that "expected behaviour"? Is there a way to avoid this performance loss?

The HCA used in both test machines is a Mellanox Infinihost III Lx DDR
HCA. Both machines run OpenSuse 11 with a 2.6.25.16 Kernel.

Is it SDP or IPoIB?
What is the FW version you use?

Performance with Open Suse 11 "out of the box", using Open Suse 11
Infiniband packages:

tamara iperf-2.0.4/src> ./iperf -c 192.168.2.2 -l 3M

Performance after the Installation of ODED 1.4. beta:

Thanks in advance,
