I strongly suspect that this performance between ESX clients is bus and software limited, and that IB, FC, or 10GigE is not going to be able to move any faster than what you can do over the bus of the machine. But it would be really interesting if you could re-run those exact same tests with alternative hardware and see whether or not that is actually the case. -- Brad Knowles <[email protected]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
