Use the
following guidelines when determining the number of connections to define in a
network fabric:
| Scenario | Number of Connections |
|---|---|
| Copying data between a source and target system that have same number of nodes | Define 1:1 connections |
| Copying data from a source that has fewer nodes than the target system | Define N < M Define N connections where N is the number of source nodes and M is the number of target nodes. If some N:M paths are not defined, define N connections. |
| Copying data from a source that has more nodes than the target system | Define N > M Define N connections where N is the number of source nodes and M is the number of target nodes. Use a round-robin of target nodes to cover each source node. |
