Each such cluster must have a unique name, this does not only helps +admins to distinguish on which cluster they currently operate, it is also +required to avoid possible clashes in the cluster communication stack. + +While the bandwidth requirement of a corosync cluster is relatively low, the +latency of packages and the package per second (PPS) rate is the limiting +factor. Different clusters in the same network can compete with each other for +these resources, so it may still make sense to use separate physical network +infrastructure for bigger clusters.
