[Gluster-users] Gluster nodes on the same network as clients?

[ML mail]

Hello,
Should the gluster nodes be all located on the same network or subnet as their clients in order to get the best performances?
I am currently using Gluster 3.7.11 with a 2 nodes replica for cloud storage and mounting on the clients withe the native glusterfs protocol (mount -t glusterfs) and my nodes are currently located on an internal network as I was trying not to waste any IPv4 addresses and the clients are on a public IP range. But now I noticed that if I have also an internal client on the same network performance is around 4 times better. In between the two networks there is a firewall but between these two networks there are no special rules, everything is allowed.
Any comments on that?
RegardsML
