.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.Nm
The rdma_bw and rdma_lat tests are part of the "perftest" utilities that  are  used  for  InfiniBand  related  performance  testing. The "perftest" utilities are micro bench mark utilities.

.PP
First a passive receiving instance is started.
.RS 12

	#rdma_bw
.RE
.PP
Then an active sending instance is started, giving it the address at which it will find a listening passive receiver.
.PP
.RS 12
	#rdma_bw server 
.RE
.PP
If options are used then the same options must be  used for both client and server.
