In the doc there is just information about separating storage and public Ceph networks. But it doesn't seem to be that easy, eg. here https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/vm-storage-traffic-on-ceph.117137/

VLAN setup:
  1. Proxmox MGMT
  2. Ceph storage
  3. Ceph monitors
  4. VMs
When copying data between VMs traffic is visible on all networks. The issue is that inter VLAN traffic is 100Gb/s while routing between them runs just at 1Gb/s.

Seems that the flow is: read OSD (Ceph storage VLAN) -> Monitors -> Proxmox -> VM -> Other VM -> Proxmox -> Monitor -> save to another OSD

What should be the setup to be able to utilize full 100Gb/s bandwidth? Proxmox should be in the same VLAN as Monitors and OSDs? Traffic in VM VLAN is independent and that is probably correct.
