Hello,

I was trying to find out fastest IPC where data source and sink run on
the same host on SLES 10, running ConnectX and OFED 1.3.0. It seems RDMA
is performing much better than shared memory. 

Mode                    Latency (microsecs)
Throughput 
-------                 -----------------------------
----------------
SHM                     20 (32 bytes)                           17 Mbps 
RDMA                    1.07 (32 bytes)                         1.2 Gbps
SHM                     70 (32k)
5.2 Gbps
RDMA                    30 (32k)
8.5 Gbps

Can someone explain why RDMA's giving better performance on the same
host? Is it only kernel bypass and zcopy? 

Thanks

Rajib
