Your organization has deployed an InfiniBand fabric for a data center, but recently you have been experiencing intermittent latency spikes and congestion issues. The InfiniBand fabric is used for both storage traffic (NVMe-oF) and computational workloads (GPU training). You suspect that the congestion is caused by unbalanced traffic patterns and insufficient congestion control mechanisms. Which of the following best practices should be implemented to address congestion and latency issues in your InfiniBand deployment?
In InfiniBand, Virtual Lanes (VLs) are used to provide logical isolation of traffic within a single physical connection. What is the maximum number of Virtual Lanes supported by the InfiniBand standard, and what is their primary purpose?
