I would argue that you should use a switch (not a hub) when using ltsp. A switch will definitely minimize network collision. Whenever you are running multiple diskless clients it's important that you reduce as much network bottleneck as possible to maximize performance. Using 100/Mb switches instead of hubs is one way of reducing network bottlenecks. An additional option is to invest in link aggregation (nic pooling) solution on the ltsp server.

Hi,
I have exactly the same prob on my old 5 ports Hub... ! I really have a lot
of collisions with only the Ltsp server and 1 (yes one ...) client ...!
I suppose it comes from the TFTP protocol that uses UDP, wich is faster but
a less reliable protocole, because U stands for Unconnected.

Remi.
