direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

I've never made such analysis. It's more a case of "common sense agrees with general recommendations agrees with general anxiety" ;-) I'ts also that I'm fairly certain that if you do use a switched network for you DRBD links, it is unlikely to be dedicated (because then it would be almost trivial to remove the switch from this piece of your setup). Again, I've been in situations where you cannot have a dedicated link, and I sympathize, but it's a painful choice and I encourage everyone to refrain from it. I cannot comment on the sense (or lack thereof) in switching your dedicated links. Your point appears valid. Cheers, Felix
