Hello,
I have 2 Server with Mellanox -3 Singleport cards and 2 Moduls for an LWL ( LC LC ) connection.
My OS’s are MS SRV 2012 and MS SRV 2016. I have a fixed IP configuration and all works fine.
Now I’m thinking about buying a dual port networkcard and put this in the middle of the direct network connection.
I would like to know now. If the PC in the middle plays a big role in the data throughput or if that handles the network card by self. Alternative how far the data rate is affected by this construction.
Examble what i have

( 192.168.0.10) <---------------> (192.168.0.15) <--------------> ( 192.168.0.20 )
Have somebody experience with it or some knowledge about that ?
