Hi,
Just from a raw performance perspective, you might want to make sure that the switch can handle lots of randomly distributed traffic between all of the ports well. I'd expect that it shouldn't be too terrible, but who knows.
It has been many years since I've seen a switch have problems with that. This switch has a 160 Gb/s backplane, so I don't foresee any problems.
Especially considering that I'm mixing the public and private networks on the same switch.
On really big deployments, static routing becomes a pretty big issue. Dynamic routing, or at least well optimized routes can make a huge
I use dedicated routers for routing, the switch is just a "dumb" L2-switch. I'm looking at a very small deployment (probably 8 servers). -- Jens Kristian Søgaard, Mermaid Consulting ApS, jens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, http://wwww.mermaidconsulting.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
