At PDC, an infiniband based infrastructure carries bulk data inside
clusters, between clusters and between clusters and file servers
(Lustre). It uses the native infiniband transport. It would be nice if
this infrastructure could be used for speedup of AFS data transfers as
well. However, for TCP only, oob is not soooo great.
