Lucas - I think this is more of a recommended guideline from the hypervisor to have a descent performance. From what I recall I think the performance of the cluster starts degrading exponentially as you scale the number of vlans and the hosts in the cluster.

I am wondering why this is the case because as a test I added 10 hosts to a pool and Cloudstack is managing them without any issues that I see. Any further clarification on this issue would be greatly appreciated. -- Lucas Hughes Cloud Engineer Ecommerce Inc
