Does the NIC in U250 can directly connected to other NIC from other host, rather through another FPGA's NIC

[manwu1994]

Hi, we are testing the throughput of the NIC in U250. First, we connected two QSFP ports: one from the U250 and the other from a conventional NIC (40GB/s). Then, we used port 1 on the conventional NIC to send packets, while port 2 on the U250's NIC was used to test the throughput. However, we were unable to establish a successful connection between these two ports.

Considering this, is it possible to directly connect the NIC in the U250 to another NIC on a different host, instead of going through another FPGA's NIC?

If you have any comments, please feel free to discuss them with us. Thank you so much in advance.
