There is one main reason behind separation, i.e. using cluster network: simple network level traffic classification. We have machines where we need to be able to guarantee a minimum amount of osd-osd replication traffic on the network links (CoS). And it seems like "nice-to-have" feature in general. An assumption here is that osd-osd "pinging" would happen on the cluster network if configured. A possible workaround I imagine would be if replication and osd-osd, osd-mon traffic would receive different values in the ToS field than client traffic. Not immediately obvious to me how one listening socket would manage the distinction. /Martin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
