z/VM simulates the function of a hardware switch (called the Virtual Switch). Each virtual machine (and even TCP/IP on VM itself) can use the virtual switch to access the 'real' network. The traffic from the machines on the virtual switch can be load balanced (as of z/VM 5.3) over 3 OSA Express

It is unlikely that 130 servers would have 130 independent network connections. So in reality 130 servers would be sharing a 1G connection. So if you connect that 1G connection to the mainframe you still have the same bandwidth. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port
