Fast LAN Transport
limping is easy
- 1Gbps LAN:
- Slower than any vaguely serious storage system
- Little to no configuration gotchas
- Saturation near-guaranteed
- 10Gbps LAN:
- Still usually slower than local storage
- Needs more expensive, more fiddly gear
- May require jumbo frames to achieve saturation
- Frequently limited by CPU single-thread performance
- Frustratingly hard to saturate
