Scenario: I have a rack of servers that all belong to the same private VLAN. I transfer data from Server 1 to Server 2. Is it possible for any of the other servers to sniff out the data sent or is that only possible from the Router/Switch?
The reason I ask is I am trying to decide if it is safe to transfer unencrypted files via a private network if there are other servers on that private network that might be able to sniff it out, aka virtual servers or leased dedicated servers. The overhead of SSH encryption can be pretty high for transferring a lot of data.
