For example, the perftest tools can be run as:
# ib_write_bw -d bnxt_re0 -x 3 -F --report_gbits -p 1800 -s <message_size> -q <num of qps> -D <duration>
192.168.30.3
# ib_write_lat -d bnxt_re0 -x 3 -F --report_gbits -p 1800 -s 2 192.168.30.3
For a complete explenation of the parameters used by ib_write_bw/lat and other IB utilities, see github as previously
described.
