NAME         top

       ibv_rate_to_mbps - convert IB rate enumeration to Mbit/sec

       mbps_to_ibv_rate - convert Mbit/sec to an IB rate enumeration

SYNOPSIS         top

              #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

              int ibv_rate_to_mbps(enum ibv_rate rate);

              enum ibv_rate mbps_to_ibv_rate(int mbps);

DESCRIPTION         top

       ibv_rate_to_mbps() converts the IB transmission rate enumeration
       rate to a number of Mbit/sec. For example, if rate is
       IBV_RATE_5_GBPS, the value 5000 will be returned (5 Gbit/sec =
       5000 Mbit/sec).

       mbps_to_ibv_rate() converts the number of Mbit/sec mult to an IB
       transmission rate enumeration.  For example, if mult is 5000, the
       rate enumeration IBV_RATE_5_GBPS will be returned.

RETURN VALUE         top

       ibv_rate_to_mbps() returns the number of Mbit/sec.

       mbps_to_ibv_rate() returns the enumeration representing the IB
       transmission rate.
