Which are three key features of InfiniBand networking technology?

The correct answer is D. Low latency, high bandwidth, and CPU offloads. InfiniBand is renowned for three key features: low latency (microsecond-scale communication), high bandwidth (100 Gb/s and beyond), and CPU offloads (via RDMA), which shift data transfer tasks to the network hardware, boosting system efficiency. High latency contradicts…

Explanation

InfiniBand is renowned for three key features: low latency (microsecond-scale communication), high bandwidth (100 Gb/s and beyond), and CPU offloads (via RDMA), which shift data transfer tasks to the network hardware, boosting system efficiency. High latency contradicts InfiniBand's design, and GPU offloads are not a core networking feature, making low latency, high bandwidth, and CPU offloads the definitive trio.
