I guess the point of it would be YMMV. Depending on your traffic patterns, your need to regulate traffic between sites by size and or times or to throttle the connection. With E2K you put in your best guess and if it's not what you need, it's not that hard to change it. We have two main data centers with dual OC3's between them. I was going to have all the servers in one great big routing group and if the network folks whine about all the chatter, then I'll split them in two.

There is also a white paper from MS but all it says is "Generally, servers within a routing group are connected by a high speed network" I have seen the text in the E2k reskit repeated more times than the whitepaper. There must be some stats out there!?
