I was trying to increase my limited knowlege in Networking. I have considerd many different options for an 8 node cluster that I am building for my school "Northeastern Universtiy". I am a freshman but I decide to take on this project and need alittle assistance. Of my many questions the first is Gigabite ethernet or 100 mbp. I understand the cost analysis but just what is the ture latency difference between the two. Also layer-2 or layer-3? Unsure about the physical differences between the two. Also I heard the term infinaband and im not sure what it refers to but it is supposed to be the new standard in message passing. Thanks
