Are you planning VM backup? If so, the only way is via LAN. Otherwise, you have to use proxy VADP in a physical server, but this solution is not supported, it is a legacy solution.

On the other hand, I recommend LAN backups with client deduplication. Performance is quite good. Again, for FC backups, you need a physical storage node and deduplication is made in storage node and not in clients... you will see all traffic in LAN from client->storage node.
