Hi all.

We have 2x EX4550's in VC that provide switching for an iSCSI network. There 
are 3 Dell SANs and 4 Dell R820 ESXi hosts connected via twinax @ 10Gbps. Jumbo 
frames and flow control is enabled.

My knowledge around Juniper tech is a little vague, but what's with the default 
CoS settings on the switch? It seems they will automatically reserve 5% for 
network control traffic. Is there anyway to disable CoS entirely? AFAIK Brocade 
& Cisco don't have this type of default, and 5% of a 10Gbps is actually a 
rather significant chunk of bandwidth.

The reason I'm asking is that we've seen some performance issues lately. We 
have a hybrid-SSD tray of storage that can saturate a link, so we're seeing MAC 
pause frames being received by the switch as well as discards on some of the 
queues.

Thanks for any pointers.

Regards,

Josh.
