@john.c Keeping the various network traffic isolated according to specific usage (management, storage, VMs, etc.) is always a good idea. The last system I managed had 10GiB LACP bonds and using VLANs to isolate traffic and that worked fine with a four-node pool running around 80 or so XenDesktop instances per node. Never experienced any congestion issues. Each dom0 had a ton of memory and I believe it was either 8 or 16 VCPUs to make sure there were sufficient compute and memory allocations to allow for sometimes very heavy loads. It also helped that I eventually added GPUs to take on some of the computational load, in particular when some of the VMs were running applications employing heavy graphics.
