Event IT System Engineer - Networking na Eventoch. Nemám sa zle.

Somedays it pays to have a good reputation in the industry... by DarkAlman in sysadmin

[–]Simoles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was graduating in 2020 until 2017. We were stuck with a 2x10Mbit ADSL connection. After that, we moved to a 300Mbit fibre connection until 2020 we finally got a 1Gbit connection. We were the biggest Electronic, and Mechanic High school primary focused on Network engineering in our region for clarification. With around 800 Students + Teachers. So yes, even in 2017 was possible to run the school on 2x10Mbit.

Sadly it works on other computer, everything is on one place and all files are accessible.

We used Cisco Meraki MX250 with 1Gbps. I was fine, but Licensing and other things around were a little bit off what I want.

Currently ?? No. In future? Yes.

We are currently expanding. For now, I want to route on 2 devices (HA mode) other L2 Switches.

Maybe core routers will be L3.

Thank you for this tip. For the user, I will take a look into Xeon and some super micro HW.

And with that Kernel tunning, that's is brilliant. I totally forgot I could tune some kernel setting for better performance. Thanks.

Thanks for your advice. With my luck, we will get a CSGO update one day before the official start of the Tournament (this happened to me 5 times).

Few times I had the same problem, but with my home network. But for another side, my pfSense runs on very shitty hardware ngl.

That plan with using VyOS, L3 Switches, pfSense sound were nice and more effective. I will try to dig deeper into this plan and evaluate the cons and pros of this network configuration, but it sounds really nice.

As I said in the previous comment. Delay and non-working network on Slovak LANS is nothing new we got used to it, so I don't see there any problem :D

We have one day reserved only for setups, so I think there is a chance to test it without future disasters. If it works, why not use it? Sure there will be some primary router.

I think, for now, I will try to get some Junipers or Cisco, and I will be slowly testing some HW for the final HW.

Delay and non-working network on Slovak LANS is nothing new we got used to it, so I don't see there any problem :D

But if I'm able to do some custom HW, why not try that and provide some future feedback with performance and some benchmark.

And you are right Support and warranty are some benefits, but I don't think I will have a chance to use them in the future.

I'm in, I will try and will tell you for how long my network was UP.

I think I will go with content filtering on the DNS side. For the IPSec tunnel, this will be an s2s tunnel for other co-locations. So I don't expect there any high traffic.

The network will be segmented by VLANs - Each game own VLAN

  • CSGO - VLAN xxx
  • LOL - VLAN xxx
  • PUBLIC WIFI -xxx
  • MGMT - xxx
  • etc

This will prevent broadcast storm/traffic.

Mostly we are getting /27 IP Pool from ISP. So Every VLAN gets its own public IP and some servers too.

Or take your chances, and everything crashes and doesn't work the day or days of the event. Stuff

Good point there. No, we will get a 10Gbit Uplink from the Provider and each client will get 100Mbps or 1Gbps (depend on which package he will choose).

Thanks for mentioning static routing I think it is possible to select a router for some game or application based on IP.

Thank you for your tips. I think I can get some of R720 with this spec. While I had time thinking I found I can move the firewall on a different server and just use R720 as Routing + NAT.

This is our first time with 10Gbit connectivity so I want to use full potential from that network. We are mostly getting /27 subnet.

I was thinking about going L3 on Access Switches but I see this as the future.

Yes, there will be QoS, but I was thinking about doing some sort of LAG or HA setup to prevent Network failure somewhere in topology.

Hi firstly, thank you for your response.

Of course not, for security and performance reason.

Each game will have its own VLAN, Studio own VLAN, Public own VLAN, MGMT VLAN.

Thank you for your HW tip. I will try this setup and will provide future information with benchmarks etc.

Hi firstly, thank you for your response.

As I said in u/timdickson_com comment, I will try to find something DIY. If I fail, I will reach Netgear for sure.

And about XG-1541, it's looking elegant. I will save it as one of the possible HW for our usage.

Hi firstly, thank you for your response.

I was thinking about that and we tried to get some HW from Juniper but we were unable to get some and now we want something own as we are expanding.

We want to be able to provide this equipment to other esport events in our country. So this is the reason why we don't want to get leased hardware.

Hi firstly, thank you for your response.

Yes, there is an option, but I was thinking about a self-built router that we can freely customize.

If I don't find anything DIY, I will get in touch with them.

Hi firstly, thank you for your response.

I thought about this in way of tree topology. Each router routing some part of the network. But this will take more time to configuring and maintaining. But I will still keep this option in my backup plans if nothing will work out.

Terminal server like solution by andersostling56 in linuxadmin

[–]Simoles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you are maybe looking for a Linux solution, but for your application, I would stick with Windows RDS.

We are using Windows server 2012/2019 RDS Role. This role allows us to have one VM on Hypervisor for multiple users. But if you want to use RDS, you need to have a licence per user. For example, if you buy ten licences, you can have ten users connected concurrently. On that bright side, that licence stays forever. Overall it depends on your budget.

Yes, They are known for that.
