I'd like to create static ARP entries for some IPoIB devices. The arp (8) command that I'm using doesn't know about ARPHRD_INFINIBAND (this is arp version 1.88 from net-tools-1.60-583.4.src.rpm, in SLES10.) Is there a version of arp (8) that works with IB? Or some other utility or means to make st

In our test at the ORNL - it appears you can "turn off" the traffic by giving every VL weight 0. As soon as you assign non-zero VL weight, the traffic starts to flow, however, VL with more weight doesn't have expected preference treatment. In other words, traffic shaping didn't take place. smpquery

Hi,   I havent tried this but want to hear from IB experts whether IB broadcast (where switch does the real broadcasting task and where all the hosts are connected to a single switch) is as fast as point-to-point IB data transfer and secondly if data transfer over UD QP is faster then over RC QP ??
