CSM Performance

My understanding is that the CSM only has a 4Gbps connection to the backplane of the 6500. Does this also mean I am limited to 4Gbps throughput to all of my load balanced servers? This seems pretty limiting considering the capacity inherent to the 6500.

Thanks,

Patrick

I feel that the CSM also has a limit on the number of connections per second. Depending on the protocol used (http 1.0 or http 1.1) retrieving one web page with different object could result in several connections.

Patrick,

you can configure direct server return.

The 4Gbps would be only for client request.

You could also add more CSM to a chassis - up to 4.

Gilles.
