CEPH setup

Code:
Doesnt affect latency and QD1 heavy workloads.

Running 2x25GB for both public and cluster.
Connectx5 for public optimized for latency Intel XXV710 for cluster

It's not about high load or bandwidth — it's all about how quickly the network can return an Ack. I feel like this aspect is being completely overlooked here.

a ACK is small, the network isnt the limiting factor for acks, its ceph "slow" architecture.
