My guess is this question has been asked before, but I've not been able to find it in the archive file. The question is given a typical 10Mb/s lan how many nodes can a cluster support? Assume the cluster has its own switch, the head and nodes are connected in a star with the switch, the cluster lan is isolated from all other non-cluster network traffic, the only way to reach a node is through the head, ignore extra traffic from TCP handshakes and such, and the the data packet for a work unit is 1KB with a 100B results packet back to the head. How do I calculate this? Mike
