The Content Software for File system supports the following types of networking technologies:
- InfiniBand (IB)
- Ethernet
The networking infrastructure dictates the choice between the two. If a Content Software for File cluster is connected to both infrastructures, it is possible to connect Content Software for File clients from both networks to the same cluster.
The Content Software for File system networking can be configured as performance-optimized or CPU-optimized. In performance-optimized networking, the CPU cores are dedicated toContent Software for File, and networking uses DPDK. In CPU-optimized networking, the CPU cores are not dedicated to Content Software for File, and the networking uses DPDK (when supported by the NIC drivers) or in-kernel (UDP mode).
