Network

What the cluster requires from the links between its machines, and what to decide about those links before the machines are racked.

Bandwidth and latency budget covers which traffic flows where and which of the two figures each flow depends on. MTU covers the one setting that has to match across every device on the path. Bonding and LACP covers what link aggregation can and cannot add, given how MooseFS uses its connections. Separated backbone network covers keeping cluster traffic off the client network, and InfiniBand what an InfiniBand fabric offers a cluster that uses TCP/IP.

Network ports lists the ports that the components listen on, with the option that changes each one.
