Bandwidth will be less for larger sequence sizes In multiple chassis fabrics each link between chassis contributes 100 or 200 megabytes of bandwidth between those chassis When additional bandwidth is needed between devices increase the number of links between the connecting switches The switch guarantees in order delivery with any number of links between chassis 3 3 3 Latency Latency is a measure of how fast a frame travels from one port to another The factors that affect latency include transmission rate and the source destination port relationship as shown in Table 3 2 Table 3 2 Port to Port Latency Source Destination Rates Same Switch 1 Gbps 1 Gbps lt 1 usec 2 Gbps 2 Gbps lt 0 5 usec 59021 05 A 3 7 Device Access 3 Planning dt C 3 4 Device Access Consider device access needs within the fabric Access is controlled by the use of zones and zone sets Some zoning strategies include the following M Separate devices that use different operating systems mM Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in the fabric or have classified data M Separate devices into department administrative or other functional group M Group TL Port devices with targets and initiators to allow automatic discovery M Reserve a path and its bandwidth from one port to another A zone is a named group of devices that can communicate with each other Membership i
