You are using IP traffic control, right? So you need to make lustre use
IP over IB instead of native IB.
You need to set up lnet to use the socklnd instead of the o2iblnd.
You'll need to use lnet network names like "tcp0" instead of "o2ib0".
I don't know what is is you hope to investigate in LNET, but the
behavior of the socklnd and the o2iblnd can be quite different.

This doesn't work out of the box, since LNET's RDMA transfers aren't affected by the kernel latency. Does anyway know if there is a way to disable LNET's RDMA support and force its packets through the kernel? Other ideas are also welcomed.
