So, how does one monitor traffic in such a cluster?
Some managed Ethernet switches have the ability to log into them and get information on packets transmited/received on each port and errors that are detected. However, these are typically proprietary. I am not sure about the Mellanox card. So I guess the answer is that you manage RoCCE and iWarp clusters just like you would any Ethernet cluster, with existing management tools that are available for managing Ethernet. woody -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
