I have a similar setup in datagram, and don't see a big difference. Are these numbers expected? I guess I would like to understand the limitations. It seams like these numbers are a bit below what the hardware is capable of even with lro off.

I think for small MTU sizes you will see better performance with IPoIB

Subject: [ofa-general] ipoib performanec at smaller mtu

I was curious what other people are seeing for 1500 mtu performance on
ipoib. Current tests are showing that I get about 150-175MB/s no matter
how many streams.  If I go up to higher mtu, then performance
significantly increases.  Due to the storage network that this ib is
routing to, we are currently limited to 1500 mtu.
