Exactly, I'm concerned about QoS. Security is not going to be my problem. The actual admin that will be responsible for the boxes is in South America. He says let him worry about security. He just needs me to provide a decent network for him, which is limited by what the client is willing to spend at this point.
What about a Linksys 8 or 16 port switch? One of those home units that doesn't have a formal uplink. FIOS in one port the servers in the others. Has anyone put a load on them ever? Granted general chatter isn't going to be that bad but when the backups occur it could get loaded. I guess its going to be enough traffic for the need for dedicated boxes, DB, Apache, VOIP, and backup. On 2/16/07, randall <[email protected]> wrote:
I have a Linksys router that I was using for 5 static IPs in the home office before I moved Whizman into a business office. Not sure how its performance compares to other routers and not sure how much one costs new. It might not let any one box see the full FiOs bandwidth - i'm not sure whether that was inherent or due the the QoS config i had set up when one port was used for Voip for some time. In general it worked well for me. Randall
