perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Francica, Chris" <>]

Hello, I am working on building some new perfsonar servers and was wondering 
if you had any confirmation, advice against or otherwise for the following 
NIC and setup:

NIC:    Myricomm 10G-PCIE2-8B2-2S

https://www.myricom.com/products/network-adapters/10g-pcie2-8b2-2s.html

This is basically the dual 10G port version of one of the NICs you list at 
tested ok (10G-PCIE-8B-S).

Also, given an appropriately sized system, do you have a significant concern 
if I wanted to use a single node with a dual NIC card to test against 
multiple segments (for example, placing each NIC port on different segments 
of my LAN), as may typically be done with multiple servers on each LAN 
segment? In some cases, I will setup a dedicated server, but wanted to know 
if you ran into specific issues with why a single server should not be used 
on multiple segments, where appropriate.

Thanks for any information you might be able to provide!
