Re: [CentOS] Vsftpd & Iscsi - fast enough

The ability of iSCSI to support high throughput depends on:

1. How the back-end storage being served up by iSCSI is configured
2. How the network interconnects between the iSCSI targets and

1Gbps ethernet can handle up to 115MB/s per interface. Using MPIO round-robin over several interfaces you can continue to add throughput if the application can scale well across these multiple paths.

I'm a little fuzzy on this Mb vs MB issue - which one is megaBITS and which is megaBYTES, and is this a standard convention or ???

Thanks.
