I came up across that thread, that seems to have some good points both for migrating from Prom and against that. And as some one who is considering a redesign of a montirong stack for my home lab, I wonder what would be opinion of wider com

Thanks. Yeah, I have something like 12 karma or so, and the account is newly registered (a few days ago). Unfortunately, HN doesn't seems to provide any workarounds for that.

You can make it work with 2.5GbE and maybe even 10 GbE with some luck. But looking at its current state and price I personally would agree that fiber is more future proof.

There is a more concrete example - in the article I've showed iperf3 output, which gave 23.5 Gbit/s - that is actual data. Raw speed was ~24.9-25. Everything else is overhead in that case.

At some point in my life, I was forced to use 7/0.7 Mbps ADSL after having 50/50 Mbps and that ADSL was very oversubscribed (high packet loss and huge speed drops to <2 Mbps during weekends or evenings). Later on, I had FTTH, b

The main application here is to force myself into solving those problems :) I have plans on what I'll do after. As with a 25 Gbps router comes a 25 Gbps home NAS, then I would want to have decent latency for packet processing and I hop

True, but in my case, reliability and even price (per month) of going to 10 Gbps vs. 25 Gbps is the same. And what I see as a use case - is when multiple people in my household would do heavy downloads simultaneously. Also, I hope I will ge

I think about these headaches as extra fun :) But about your problem - cards manage to negotiate 5 Gbps, or even negotiation fails? If it's the latter, then it might be cables. Overall, for me, it works to simplify the network as much

The cool thing about fibre is that it is way more future-proof than good old copper. By the way, I also went for a Thunderbolt enclosure and network card for Mac. It is a bit pricy (the enclosure costs way more than yet another ConnectX).

Well... I did more than I've described in the post (I'm the article's author). It just became too large, so I've decided to stop and publish a second part once I run more tests and fix some problems. So far, I have yet t

I still need to measure and optimise power consumption correctly, but it drew about 70W from the socket during the tests, according to my simple power meter. CPU never ran at boost frequency, and a lot of other stuff is in a low power state

After reading your article, I've started to think if I want to get myself a splicer :D Before, I felt that field connectors would work just fine and splices were too expensive...

With the size of recent games and patches, 1 Gbit starts to feel a bit too low. :) And about Macbook... In my current setup, I'm using Thunderbolt -> PCIe and one of the Mellanox cards; it gives excellent and stable 16 Gbps with sto

In my case, init7 defines that "fair use" is 0.5 PB per month. So that is about 40 hours until they start asking questions, I guess :) I doubt I will be any close to that.

True, in terms of price, duplex is cheaper (though compared to overall router cost that is negligible). In my case, I wanted to be able to swap SFPs if input one dies (for any reason), and it doesn't make a lot of sense to buy differen

This first post is about my attempts to build a 25 Gbps fibre network at home.

As one of the maintainers of go-graphite stack, I'd really like to know more about what didn't work for Gramnarly. Based on values they've provided I can deduce that it was carbonapi + go-carbon, though I wonder if they'
