Hi there,
New to proxmox, but got my host and LXCs all set. I had a question about how network traffic works with SMBs

  • Physical machine: 2x10gbs and 2x2.5gbs RJ45 ports
  • Proxmox host is using the virtual bridge on nic0 (2.5gbs), mounted SMB drives from another file server
  • LXC with alot of SMB chatter has the SMB folders binded and working perfectly. LXC is using virtual bridge on nic1 (2.5gbs); other physical nic.

Question: Will LXC SMB chatter go through nic0 or nic1? I ask because I want to saturate nic1 with SMB chatter and leave nic0 quiet.
