Wasn't sure to follow on the ROI comment, but anyway, we can renew this discussion if/when Mellanox and/or more HWs to open that. BTW do you iSCSI/NFS or alike benchmark of (say) 4KB payload to demo the gain of the patch? where does your HW does the HDSplit in case of these or other IP based storage protocols? Or.
