The question is not why there is 400MBps difference between ib_send_bw and NFSoRDMA. The question is why with IOMMU ib_send_bw got to the same bandwidth as without it while NFSoRDMA got half. >From some googling, it seems that when IOMMU is enabled, dma mapping functions >get a lot more expensive. Perhaps that is the reason for the performance drop.
