On a RHEL5 with OFED 1.3 machine with similar ib cards, I can get about 3x this.

Ben,

What is the 8-stream BW you are seeing with IPoIB when using datagram
mode and MTU=1500?

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
in datagram mode.

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.
