This can be found in 15.9 of the IPMI spec. For the most part, fields related to sequence numbers, accepted character counts, ack/nack-ing, flags for serial activity (for example, a flag for a serial break), and the character data itself. > Will changing the speed to 115.2k speed up the display on the client side? Upping it may help, but it depends on what BMC you have. For many BMCs I've seen, the bottle neck is actually the BMC. Many BMCs just can't keep up, especially when AES encryption (cipher suite 3 in ipmitool) is used. > Will speeds other than 19.2k even work with a SuperMicro IPMI card > (0x15d9/0x1134)? Boards are H8DAR-T and H8SSL-i... I'm not 100% sure what these boards/cards are. The SIMSO cards that Supermicro has out for newer motherboards have a faster BMC. So when setting the serial baud to 115K, the SOL connection looks quite good, even with AES encryption. My measurements showed something equivalent to a (hypothetical) 75K-80K baud serial connection.
