Question for someone with some experience with long haul links (Las Vegas -=
- New Jersey)
[Cisco 4510 - SVI-VLAN x]---trunk---[Nexus5K LH optic]=3D=3D=3Dfiber=3D=3D=

We have two circuits, one that is the same vendor from east to west, and th=
e other circuit is a two vendor deal. Both circuits are 1 Gbps with around =
67-70 ms delay.
As soon as we had the links turned up, our SAN guy started complaining abou=
t poor throughput, asking us to throw in a couple of wan accelerators.
He was seeing a max throughput of around ~200 Mbps.
Question: For a long haul 1 Gbps link with 67-70 ms delay, would installin=
g a pair of wan accelerators make a big difference?=20
Thanks,
