sort of, yes. you *can* run IP over IB, but it isn't quite the same as ethernet. Also it has very different cabling than (10/100/1000BaseT). It has some wonderous features, like RDMA and PtP connections. Vendors claim IP over IB achieves 35GBit/s - but so far I'm getting 7GBit/s ;( _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
