Oak Ridge National Laboratory Tests the Limits of Long-Haul InfiniBand over UltraScienceNet using Obsidian Longbow Range Extenders -
"Using InfiniBand's Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), we found we could
stream data across all 8,600 miles of USN with an essentially flat
bandwidth-distance curve, right out of the box. To see this kind of
plug-and-play performance with no in-situ tuning, and independent of
distance, is in striking contrast to normal network performance"
