I have two servers in vRack. I'm beginning to suspect I am not doing the network setup as it should be done. I have just copied and modified the /etc/network/interfaces since year 2012, when vRack was older version.
Now I have tried to create direct network between the two dedicated servers, after I noticed the connection seems to be bandwith limited to 500 Mbit/sek.. I tried this following instructions in
https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/dedicated/configuring-vrack-on-dedicated-servers/
That guide does not mention vmbr. I'm running Proxmox on those dedicated servers, I believe I need vmbr for the virtual hosts. I have two IP address blocks in this vRack.
Here is my current /etc/network/interfaces, from two hosts.

Direct network between two servers in vRack?
