Where would the bottleneck > lie; storage for NFS mount? Sean, I suspect you would be limited by your storage IOPS performance rather than the NIC speed. If you have the time, can you (1) Compare raw storage IOPS with NFS IOPS? Bonnie and Iozone are good tools to benchmark IO. (2) Compare network throughput of your SSVM NIC Vs the physical hosts NIC? You can use nuttcp for network tests.
