Re: Transit LAN vs. Individual LANs
- From: Pete Templin

An argument could be made for individual VLANs to keep things like b-
cast storms isolated. But I think the additional complexity will
cause more problems than it will solve.
One must keep in mind that human error is the dominant cause of outages,
and since there's not likely to be backhoes running around in a data
center, IMHO the goal should be to remove as many ways as possible that
your coworkers can muck things up.
Individual PTP links means a muckup probably affects only two devices.
Switched LANs means a muckup possibly affects all devices (on one of the
LANs), and not all of them may detect the problem at the same time.
