RN716X performance
Hello all We're looking at at the ReadyNAS 716x, and read the Anandtech review linked to on the readynas.com resources tab: http://www.netgear.com/business/products/storage/readynas/readynas-deskt...
Interesting. I'm shooting in the dark here but their test setup is using quad NIC's and 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation with "Src/Dest MAC, VLAN, EType,Incoming Port" hashing mode. If what I read here -> http://www.readynas.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/ReadyNAS-Teaming.pdf and here -> http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=52156 is correct (specifically the line
and in the second link the lines reading
“Sec/Dest MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port” – this corresponds to Layer 2 xmit hash policy
wouldn't that mean testing from a PC to a NAS using their setup you would never see a single operation use more than one of the aggregate members (meaning never more than 1gbit throughput)?
layer2
Uses XOR of hardware MAC addresses to generate the
hash. The formula is
(source MAC XOR destination MAC) modulo slave count
This algorithm will place all traffic to a particular
network peer on the same slave.
