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
