Interoperability between versions 6.2. (13a) and 5.2 (8)

Please, I wonder if there is any performance problem, if I have MDS devices with different versions of NXOS. If one MDS9513 with version 6.2. (13a) and MDS9506 with version 5.2 (8), this equipment is the same fabric.

Both versions are on the support matrix

Although we recommend that customers use the latest release of Cisco NX-OS or SAN-OS software, I don't know of any performance impact, if you don't do so.
