Everyone here knows we can slice our subnets up however large we want for private addresses, but is there any rule of thumb or a "breaking point" of a subnet being too large where it's not worth it? Any general rule of thumb to keep it under a certain number of hosts? I'm guessing broadcasts and storms and all those factor into this. Just curious if there's a mathematical formula where the performance becomes a huge drop off.

Anyone have major issues with remote users and field workers using verizon hotspot / router devices and VPNing in with Sonicwall Global VPN Client? We actually had to open a case for a verizon m106 pro hotspot that would connect but not pass traffic over VPN, the CSGConnect team that manages the devices said it has something to do with 4g network issues? You can lower the MTU on the VPN Client but that's not a valid answer for 60+ remote users in the field...

How is everyone designing and implementing a SAN network? Do you keep everything on separate dedicated switches and just link storage devices to it and map from hosts to storage? Is it bad practice to route storage traffic over routers/firewalls and just keep it contained to dedicated small network? Same for backup traffic?
