Hello,
If anybody out there has tried this or thought about it, I'd like to know...
I've been thinking about ways to squeeze as much performance as possible from the NICs on a Ceph OSD node. The nodes in our cluster (6 x OSD, 3 x MGR/MON/MDS/RGW) currently have 2 x 10GB ports. Currently, one port is assigned to the front-side network, and one to the back-side network. However, there are times when the traffic on one side or the other is more intense and might benefit from a bit more bandwidth.
What is (are) the reason(s) to choose a separate cluster and public network?
That used to be the recommendation to separate client traffic and cluster traffic. I heard it's not true any more as the latest. It would be good if someone can point to the right link of such recommendation. Thanks! Tony
