Link layer is not Ethernet. #5

Closed vivian-jq closed 3 years ago

vivian-jq commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I am trying to run this project on our nodes. However, after building successfully by running build_all.sh, it failed to run the tests with same error message in issue #1.

After taking a deep look inside the system, we found that our failure was caused by a different link layer type InfiniBand, which asked to be Ethernet in dpdk dependency.

Can afim run on infiniband network? If can, how to adapt to it for us?

Here is our ibv_devinfo, hope it can help you.

Hi, thanks for your interest! AIFM depends on Shenango, an NSDI'19 work. Currently, Shenango only supports RoCE. The easiest way to reproduce the results is to follow our GitHub README and use the cloudlab machine.
