Test-RDMA diskspd throughput is limited by the storage subsystem and doesn't fully test the network link reliability.
I have submitted Pull #472 that changes the parameters to DiskSpd to use caching on the remote end (-Sr) and uses -ft to set FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY access hint that results in the IO to not be flushed on the backing media.
The result is that any RDMA network link is fully saturated during the test.
