Cool; thanks, Francis.  Please tell me more about your storage nodes
(operating system, Ethernet cards, drivers).

Thanks!

I have several Data Domain DD460 devices that are NAS boxes.  I connect 
them via cross-over cable to my storage nodes and use Jumbo Frames (MTU 
9000) with them.  They perform better with the Jumbo Frames than 
without.  NetWorker just uses the network connection -- it's really NFS 
that is using the jumbo frames to get to the AFTD.
