IP over InfiniBand (IPoIB)
Users of InfiniBand can also use it to carry IP-networking packets, thus allowing it to replace ethernet in some cases. From at least kernel version 4.10 onwards users can compile IP-over-IB in-kernel (CONFIG_INFINIBAND_IPOIB). However if that's not the case and the support is compiled as kernel module it may be possible that the module isn't automatically loaded. The module is named ib_ipoib.

InfiniBand network interfaces are usually named as ib.

After the interface is visible blahblahblah.... Obviously TODO. ;)
