When it says "buffer size" for the Chariot stuff, is that the socket
buffer size, or the size of the buffer(s) being passed to the transport?

That's the I/O size for the application, being passed to the transport.

Was the MTU 1500 or 9000 bytes?

1500 byte MTU

Can the Chariot do small packet latency tests and/or aggregate small
packet performance?

Yes, but for small I/O the overhead of pinning pages and initiating
the offloaded copy overtakes the benefits.  We currently see that
cutoff at about 2k.

I must be missing something - if the MTU was 1500 bytes, how did the receiver's offloaded copies get to the 2k level? Were several arriving TCP segments aggregated?

thanks,
