Hello Guys,
I’ve been planning to setup the SMB Multichannel and have got some questions:
-
The SMB is a single threaded connection and generally, its recommended to use the highest core clock for a CPU. But does this also applies to SMB Multichannel as well?
-
Secondly, how many cores/threads does the SMB Multichannel can use for a given setup? Does the number of cores being used depends on the number of ports on the NIC or is there any kind of tuning that a particular card can use X number of threads in total when its configured in MultiChannel?
-
I’ve Chelsio T580 on the NAS and the Client. But my switch is 10GbE only. So, can i connect the Chelsio T580 (NAS) to Chelsio T580 on the client side as a direct connection between NIC to NIC and for internet the onboard 1GbE on both the systems. Is that possible?
-
How do I test network performance and latency?
Thanks
