InfiniBand is fairly cheap. However, true IB for RAC (uDAPL) is not
supported in 10gR2. As far as we've been able to figure out, the
InfiniBand support is for SDP and is undocumented (that's for
SQL*Net) and for interconnect traffic is only IPoIB - standard IP run
over InfiniBand. Oracle has dropped plans to support uDAPL -
apparently deciding to try to push their own proprietary RDMA protocol.

Has anyone used Infiniband?
How well did it work and how much can we expect to pay?
Thanks Keith
