Yes there is very little on the internet using the terms "hairpin turns" or "hairpinning" in relation to networking. However, I will be writing about it later this week. Searching terms like VEB, VNTag and VN-Link might be useful. On the topic of IB.... this is almost certainly a technology that suffers hugely from FUD. Great technology but may never see widespread use because of competing technologies and FUD. Nigel Hi Stephen,

I don't have the time to go wandering about the web looking for stuff that may or may not be worth it..  I do find the mention of infiniband a bit interesting.  I have been using it on some intense clusters for well over 5 years.  I was happy to see it mentioned in the first draft of FCoE but vendors seem to be losing interest in it. Good luck with this site.  Cheers Stephen Nigel,
