What's the purpose of "cluster" network, simply increasing total bandwidth or for some isolations?
Not having client traffic (that only occurs on the public network) fight over bandwidth with OSD<->OSD traffic (replication and recovery).
Now, this wasn't as much of an issue, which is why most have stopped recommending split networks and just go with bonding the interfaces and let the side that currently needs a lot of BW get it.
It does have another drawback: when public network is up, but one cluster network port(-channel) is down (or one of the routers for cluster network), clients can do IO to all OSDs, but not all OSDs can communicate, and you will get slow ops, OSDs flagging each other down and that might not be obvious to spot.
