NFS datastores

NFS datastores use 2 TCP sessions to the back end NFS server (1 for NFS control traffic, 1 for data traffic). Only 1 TCP session is used for data transport per datastore. This means that to aggregate the bandwidth of multiple VMkernel VMNICs, multiple NFS datastores are required. This also implies that a single NFS datastore cannot use more than one VMNIC's worth of bandwidth.
