Infiniband versus Ethernet myths and misconceptions

I have written my thoughts on the Infiniband versus Ethernet myths and misconceptions. For more information, see Infiniband versus Ethernet myths and misconceptions from Linux Cluster Blog

Only 3 critical myths are discussed.
  1. Opinion 1: Infiniband is lower latency than Ethernet
  2. Opinion 2: QDR‐IB has higher bandwidth than 10GbE
  3. Opinion 3: IB Switch scale better than 10GbE


     Most of my materials are taken from Chelsio White Paper - Eight myths about InfiniBand WP 09-10
