This is one of my fears too. My current perspective is to ask "What do hardware designers optimise for". because the speeds we are looking at really require various bits of hardware to be working together harmoniously. In context, that question becomes "Do they optimise for single connection throughput, or multiple connection throughput". Given the amount of money in web-services, I think multiple connection throughput is most likely to provide dollars. I also think that is would be a lot easier to parallelise than single connection. So if we NFS developers want to work with the strengths of the hardware, I think multiple connections and increased parallelism is a sensible long-term strategy. So while I cannot rule out any undiscovered performance issue, I don't think this is just kicking the can down the road. Thanks, NeilBrown
