IPoIB Architecture and its Application
IPoIB体系结构及其应用

InfiniBand (IB) is a high speed, channel based interconnecting technology between systems and devices. It will remove the bottleneck limiting the performance of current servers and storage divices. This article proposes an IP over InfiniBand (IPoIB) architecture and its application. It will function as a bridge between IP and IB architecture in systems IP and IB coexists. It enables the applications to take advantages of IB without changes in upper layers IP and other protocols. We also introduce the IPoIB protocol and show some experiment results in this paper. The experiment results show that IPoIB is suitable to be used in the front-end servers and interface devices for the InfiniBand. based network servers.
