Hi Dave, Our not-for-profit AS197422 http://tetaneutral.net based in Toulouse, France, will get leased (for free) two 48 10G port switch Force10 S4810P and in a few weeks we'll get a 10G Cogent uplink (able to pay 1-3 Gbps 5mn 95 percentile so burst to/from internet should stay short :). We're looking for 10G PCIe cards for Debian GNU/Linux boxes (haswell class CPU) advice. We have an Ubiquity edge router lite siting around, we'll probably get a Mikrotik CCR1036-8G-2S+ too. We have also about 300 ubiquity 5GHz antennas and 200+ subscribers with fiber uplink, and about 50 servers hosted + same number of virtual machines. As our not-for-profit name "tetaNEUTRAL.NET" indcates we want to be fair in bandwidth use by our users but without looking at protocols so respecting network neutrality principles. fairness has to be defined of course, can be period of time / volume based, we've played with IP based tc classifiers for a while. And of course we'll be very happy to give access to that stuff to the "Bloat" croad, don't forget to ping us in one month or so if I forget about our offer :). Sincerely, Laurent _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
