Hi Riccardo,

We have recently integrated mlx5 nodes into our fabric, and we had to
reduce the values to

peer_credits = 16
concurrent_sends = 16

because mlx5 doesn't support larger values for some reason. The peer_credits must have the same value in all connected lnets, even across routers (at least it used to be like this. I believe we are currently running some Lustre 2.5.x derivates on the server side, and newer versions on the various clients).

kind regards,
Martin
