The NetApp backups are going over a dedicated VLAN running jumbo frames.
The reason that we did this was that with 7.x you can parallelize the
streams from NDMP within the regular backup. This simplified our
environment considerably. We no longer have to have DDS sharing the
disks, with separate media pools, etc... Also, all of the backups can be
streamed to the same tapes, increasing the throughput.
