Figure 6. Detailed configuration information for the two Dell PowerEdge M620 blades we used in our tests.
*Note: The Dell Active System 800 uses the Broadcom Converged Network Daughter Card instead of the Intel Ethernet X520 card.
However, because of availability constraints at time of testing, Intel cards were used in lieu of the Broadcom card. Because this
testing was not network-limited at the host level, the modification did not appreciably impact the results.
