Those who are lucky enough to have gigabyte cards and ports everywhere are fine. However, if economy is needed having an unmanaged switch like the one from TP-Link, TP-SL1117 which has 16 ports which are 10/100 mbps and one additional port which is 1000 mbps (cost in Greece was 53 euros) will be a welcome improvement provided the ltsp server has a gigabyte network card. Whether the server has one or two network cards the gigabyte card should be connected to such a switch where the clients are also connected. If there is a separate connection for the server to have Internet access this need not be with a gigabyte card on the server. To maximise the benefit of the clients all connecting with the server the following options (in order of better benefit before lesser) are: 1 - disable hardware flow control (if possible) on the server's gigabyte nic. 2 - disable hardware flow control (if possible) on the switch. 3 - limit the rate of the data that the server sends to the clients. This is what I have understood from all of the above.
