Hi, I was wondering if anybody has some statistics about network traffic on a typical LTSP deployment. I only worked with very small installations so far and would like to know how it scales on bigger networks.
And if network traffic is a problem, has anyone considered some measures to reduce the traffic? I have two ideas to reduce the traffic. One is for filesystem traffic: Implementing a persistent cache in the NBD/NFS client would free up network traffic for the display connections. Facilities for NFS caching are already present in the Linux kernel, it is "just" a matter of making use of them... This may even reduce boot times when all data is cached locally on fast storage (flash memory). On the other hand, one could use the NX libraries to reduce the display traffic itself, so each client would need less bandwidth while operating. Comments? Ideas?
