Are there any applications that absolutely *have* to sit on the same LAN/broadcast domain and can't be configured to use unicast or multicast IP?
FCoE comes to mind.
Doesn't FCoE need even more than that, i.e. "lossless" Ethernet with end-to-end flow control, such as IEEE DCB? As far as I understand, traditional switched Ethernets don't fit the bill anyway. On the other hand iSCSI should be fine with routed IP paths; though Malte's mail suggests that there are (broken?) implementations that aren't. -- Simon.
