General Discussion / Re: Experience with vmotion traffic

Hi Everyone;
I thought I would provide some findings if anyone testing for vMotion traffic.
1) RTT value between ESXi hosts management traffic and vMotion traffic should be very close.
2) The management NICs Throughput on the ESXi hosts should be the same. In my case, purchased 2 same model servers but one NIC shows 100 Mbps, the other NIC from other server shows 1 gig - both are auto-negotiated.
Most of compression level works under the above conditions but not Dudup. The above also affect vSphere Replication.
Best regards;
