10GbE – This is an obvious option to begin with. If you can provide a larger pipe, the likelihood is that you will achieve greater throughput. Of course, if there is not enough I/O to fill a 1GbE connection, then a larger connection isn’t going to help you. But let’s assume that there are enough virtual machines and enough datas stores for 10GbE to be beneficial.
A vSphere host has a single routing table for all of its VMkernel Ethernet interfaces. This imposes some limits on network communication. Consider a configuration that uses two or four Ethernet adapters with one VMkernel TCP/IP stack.
