Perhaps, balancing gives the wrong impression of fine grain packet by packet balancing where we actually have higher level, cruder splitting of the work with Sharing. Below I use the word Balancing but mean Sharing. I have got a few questions recently on how to set this up as there are announcement with near zero information on setup, the configuration needed and a worked example. So here goes. For a long time now we have had SEA... [More]

10Gbit Ethernet, bad assumption and Best Practice
Below is from your Power Systems, Advanced Technical Support team in Europe (EMEA) with lots of input from many people. We find many people are over optimistic and making assumptions - which can catch them out - we learnt the hard way too. Don't Assume 1 - The same boost as last time It may be that you migrated from 2Mit to 10Mbit and saw approximately a 5 fold increase in performance. Similarly when you went from 10Mbit to 100Mbit, and from 100Mbit to 1Gbit; you saw approximately a 10 fold improvement. Don't assume that... [More]
