Hi Jason 1) Hope SA is treating you well 2) Sorry to send this to you and not the maillist, but I thought before I demonstrate my complete lack of knowledge about ethernet/switches to the world, I should float the idea with you first.
Quick correlator question -- Am I right in thinking the loopback system in the X-engine design is to avoid upsetting the switch by sending it packets with the same source and destination address? If this is the case, is it possible in principal to set up the 10gbe cores to have two IP addresses, one for outbound and one for inbound traffic, so that the loopback buffers/mux/etc aren't needed? Or is this a terrible, terrible idea? Cheers, Jack
