In InfiniBand, Virtual Lanes (VLs) are used to provide logical isolation of traffic within a single physical connection. What is the maximum number of Virtual Lanes supported by the InfiniBand standard, and what is their primary purpose?
A financial services company is using RDMA over InfiniBand to accelerate the processing of real-time market data between servers. The application employs zero-copy techniques to avoid unnecessary data copies during communication. However, after switching to this configuration, the company observes that CPU utilization is still relatively high during data transfers, and performance gains are less than expected. What could be the most likely reason for the suboptimal performance?
