What numbers are reported by ib_write_bw and ib_write_lat for that IB link ? Do these numbers match the bandwidth and latency requirements of the video playback application ? Which operating system was the initiator system running ? How was read-ahead configured ? I'm not sure it would be a good idea to try to run SRP over UC.
