Hi, this is actually a good and valid question. Since I am a strong believer of KISS I actually do not see any obvious reason for separating the traffic even though TSM makes it possible to do so. The only reason I would figure is that the traffic should flow via two separate subnets with different requirements but thats network infrastructure so Lindy will have to answer this question.
