Thank you all for the input, and Merry Christmas to all!!! -----Original Message----- From: Ken Coughlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 9:53 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Servers on one network segment
As a general rule of thumb, 20 servers wouldn't see much of a performance boost by being on different subnets. That being said, the general rule of thumb can be overridden by certain circumstances such as your existing infrastructure and the amount of data being passed between systems. In a 10baseT hub based environment, for instance, where two servers are required to pass huge amounts of data, it would certainly be reasonable to subnet those two servers seperately so as not to impact the remaining servers. Even in a switch environment you might see performance gains, but these are the exceptions to the rule.

Too much overhead for too little benefit, IMO. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
