  • 2044 is what you get with DATAGRAM mode and the native IB running with
    2K packages. You can get 4092 IPoIB MTU with 4K IB. And you do want to run 4K native IB in general.

    To run 64K MTU you need to switch from DATAGRAM mode to CONNECTED mode for IPoIB. CONNECTED mode give the highest single stream bandwidth typically but may not give best overall performance (vs 4092 DATAGRAM
    mode).
