Hi all: Anybody with knowledge of Wireless router scalability please help with this issue.
There is one Linux box (running Gentoo) with two NIC cards connected to two Wireless routers (Netgear). Each Wireless router is running a DHCP server with IP address 172.16.27/24 series and 192.168.1/24 series. The Linux box is only running Apache webserver httpd service which is listening on both the interfaces. The system is hosting Open Source distros .ISO images (CD/DVD) like BeleniX, OpenSolaris, openSUSE, Gentoo and lots of Open Source software for windows, Linux, Mac and J2ME, QtExtended installables. All the users will connect either from their PDA, Smartphones or Laptops to the main webpage and download the stuff they need/like. To get an idea of the hall, please see the slide show at http://www.twincling.org/node/297 Given a sample set of approx 400 users, will this approach scale ? If not, what can be the better approach. We're trying to provide this facility to all attendees at Open Source Summit 2008. All suggestions and observations are very welcome. thanks Saifi.
