[c-nsp] Nexus 5K optimisation for iSCSI traffic

[Matthew Melbourne]

Hi,

We're implementing two pairs of N5Ks (and downstream N2k FEXes) to act
as separate iSCSI SAN fabrics, with SAN heads attached directly to
N5Ks and host ports (and downstream integrated blade switches)
connecting to the FEXes. Does anyone have any real-world experience of
using N5Ks for a large iSCSI deployment. I have enabled jumbo frames
through a network-qos policy-map as an obvious first-step, but wonder
whether anything can be optimised by tuning buffer sizes to
accommodate the bursty nature of iSCSI (etc)? This switches will only
be switching iSCSI traffic.

Cheers,

Matt
