Introduction

  • This document provides design considerations for understanding, configuring, and troubleshooting Dell PowerScale scale-out NAS external networking. In a scale-out NAS environment, the overall network architecture must be configured to maximize the user experience. Many factors contribute to overall network performance. This document examines network architecture design and best practices, including factors such as latency, flow control, ICMP, MTU, jumbo frames, congestion, TCP/IP parameters, and IPv6.
