That’s llama, which didn’t scale nearly as well in the tests. Assumedly because it’s not optimized yet.

RDMA is always going to have lower overhead than Ethernet isn’t it?

Possibly RDMA over thunderbolt. But for RoCE (RDMA over converged Ethernet) obviously not because it's sitting on top of Ethernet. Now that could still have a higher throughput when you factor in CPU time to run custom protocols that smart NICs could just DMA instead, but the overhead is still definitively higher
