I'm looking for people's experiences with Voltaire switches in general and the Vantage 6048 in particular. We'd like to use a central switch and use 16 10g ports trunked via LACP to two other switches and a SAN (to clarify, the central switch would have three data channels, each one consisting of 16 trunked 10g ports, the two downstream switches would have 10gb clients hanging off of them and I'm not sure how the SAN is supposed to use 16 10g ports; they haven't felt the need to give me specs on it, but for now I'm assuming it either has a built in switch fabric that supports LACP or will have another switch dedicated to it can handle different L1 media). Assuming we can bond that many channels (which I'm not sure about, but none of the docs I've read on the IEEE protocol involved indicate a limit on the number ports that can be aggregated, and the manufacturer docs don't mention it either), how realistic is the expectation of getting a full 160gb throughput? Are the switches in question up to the task? This is a research project we're building for a customer, so I'm trying to manage expectations, but this isn't the sort of thing I've personally ever built before and I'm hoping someone here has done something close enough and is willing to share experiences. Thanks, Jamie
