I was listening to Todd Klindt and Shane Young at TechEd North America this year (the link goes to the recording of the session). The session was on the basics of SharePoint 2013 administration. During the session, Todd mentioned an interesting metric – all the servers in a SharePoint farm should have no more than 1ms of network latency between them. I, of course, had what I thought was a perfectly reasonable question – how do you go about monitoring that? The answer was a little less than satisfactory to me as I am somewhat of a monitoring guy. Use ping, but only when you suspect latency is an issue.
