450 Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 V6.3
Before you proceed, take a quick look at the second largest component of your
round-trip-time, that is, serialization delay. Serialization delay is the amount of time required
to move a packet of data of a specific size across a network link of a given bandwidth. This
delay is based on a simple concept: the time required to move a specific amount of data
decreases as the data transmission rate increases.
In Figure 11-81 on page 449, there are orders of magnitude of difference between the
different link bandwidths. It is easy to see how 1920 errors can arise when your bandwidth is
insufficient and why you should never use a TCP/IP ping to measure RTT for FCIP traffic.
Figure 11-81 on page 449 compares ...
