Sufficient Buffer Sizes

While attempting to ascertain how big of switch buffers I needed in a 100G switch, I rediscovered this article where I first learned about switch buffers. https://fasterdata.es.net/network-tuning/router-switch-buffer-size-issues/#:~:text=Optimum%20Buffer%20Size&text=The%20general%20rule%20of%20thumb,1G%20host%20across%20the%20WAN. It suggests that 60 meg is what you need at 10G. Is that per interface? Would it be linear in that I would need 600 meg at 100G? Some 100G switches I was looking at only had 36 megs, so that's insufficient either way you look at it. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com
