What is the difference between IPoIB and TCP over InfiniBand?

InfiniBand adapters (“HCAs”) provide a couple of advanced features that can be used via the native “verbs” programming interface: Data transfers can be initiated directly from userspace to the hardware, bypassing the kernel and avoiding the overhead of a system call. The adapter can handle all of the network protocol of breaking a large message … Read more
