Hi! We've done a testsetup like:
192.168.2.2 (LTSP server1) | 192.168.2.1/192.168.1.10 (regular linux machine, running ipsec at interface .1.10) | 192.168.1.20/192.168.0.20 (FreeBSD router, running Dummy Net) | 192.168.0.10/192.168.3.1 (LTSP server2, running ipsec at interface .0.10) | 192.168.3.2 ( diskless client) The diskless client loads the kernel from LTSP server2 but mounts the filesystem and runs applications from/at LTSP server1. All communication between subnet .3.0 and subnet .2.0 goes uses the ipsec tunnel, thus is encrypted when passing the Dummy net machine. Dummy Net is used to simulate different network connections, and we've tested som with different bandwidth. The result is quite obvious, the more bandwidth the more satisfying system. The tests we've made have shown that for working with applications like open office a bandwidth of 120 kbit/s is enough, even though it takes some time (8 minutes) to start the client under these circumstances. Our main problem seems to be that encryption/decryption takes alot of the CPU-power at the machines running ipsec (pentium 2, 233 MHz, 128 MB RAM) so that is probably what causes the largest delays. We're still testing and so far it's been an interesting work!

Hi All! I've got a request from an ASP, if it is possible to run an LTSP over ADSL or some kind of boradband internet connection? Two things imediately popped into my mind and I could'nt give hime any good answer: - how much bandwidth will such a solution use ? - What about security ? Experience or comments are welcome .....
