Gigabit LANNAGE !

[LogiK]

Hey guys,

There is a little lan up north (Gloucester) that is going to run an xmas special all gigabit Lan.

There is a restriction on 40 player only due to the fact that theres not that many halls that big up there.

If you are interested let us know so we can confirm it'll go ahead.

Thanks heaps.

This pic helps alot to show where it is.

fair ways to go.

contact details, dates, times, and costs would obviously be helpful, but as you've said its only in the planning stages as of now.
Not even sure what I'll be doing with my 2 weeks holiday this year

[LogiK]

Its definately going to be on.

It will most likely be 3pm 15 Jan 2006 - Noon 17 Jan 2006.
=
69 Hours Lannage.

I am a basic admin at this lan (Comps and Tourny.)

You could call me if you want Dezza but thats the only info I could give you.

It'll either be 15 or 20 bucks entry.

LogiK,

leeching or gaming lan?

all gigabit screams leechers to me

[MaJ]

tho the LANs switches may be gigabit, you are still limited by the fact that most NIC's these days are still 10/100.

Gloucestor is not that far either, my parents make regular trips there to see friends.

Infact I believe they are lookin at houses up there on monday.

[linux_inside v2]

not to mention that if you run gigabit between more than 1 switch you are gonna enjoy the bottleneck, if you have 2 switches, 20 users on each and a gigabit link between the 2 you would only be able to pull a maximum of 1 gigabit total from one switch to the other, so once everyone starts downloading you have 1gb divided by 20 which would work out to be around 50mbit per pc, and then that is assuming that it is one way, if both switches are accessing each other you would be lucky to peak at 25mbit

[Dezza Bot]

How is that different from ccgl linux? 1gb link back to rest of ccgl / 24 users = about 40mbit. Not nagging or anything, just making a point.

Oh and to Maj I'm not sure what rock you've been hiding under, but I've been using onboard and pci-x gigabit nics for years. transfer 100mb in 1second mmmm....

[MaJ]

mine is too dezza. yes i am aware that most ship with gb now.

but go to ccgl & have a look at the amount of ppl with 10/100 cards

[Dezza Bot]

True on the ccglers part. This isnt about ccgl. I still feel that the network setup at ccgl is fine/great

[PHOENIX_12]

yer wtf is wrong with ccgl network, but meh screw goin to Gloucester i'll just wait a bit for the next central coast lan

1gbit link to the Master switch, then to each seperate switch which splits up the gigabit to the seperate users, the master switch is doing most of the job and without it things would be very slowwww. plus the ccgl switches are managed switches which afaik would have QoS to split the bandwidth up at any given moment fairly. but i could be very wrong since i didn't set it up or have anything to do with it.

think about what it would be like with 10/100 backbone links

point being, the backbone MUST be faster than what the end users receive, it is the same way it works for service providers.

P.S: Gigabit won't make your games run better over lan :P

[Dezza Bot]

Guess I didnt explain that well... since you just said the same thing as I was at least thinking ;)

Quoted for accuracy

Gloucester sounds a bit far especially for a LAN where 12 year olds are admins... No offence

[Robbo]

With all you guys talking about bottlenecks ... gigabit switchs are still good , managed even better , and connections between users on single switchs are increased.

Yes gigabit is a L******s heavan , it does speed the process of space left down , then making people to revert to gaming. (Just one way to look at it)

Gaming connections .... dont need more that 150 kb tranfer rate to play with good speed. (another thing to look at)

[LogiK]

The network is running of a full 48 port gigabit switch. There is comps as I am helping organise them. Who says a LAN has to be perfect ? There a three admins 19, 16, 15 and I am an admin for this lan only.

Its not that far really. Navillus is dedicated to get there :P.

He is catching the train with his pc, monitor, a backpack and his bike, he is riding from gloucester train station rofl.

Gl Navillus.

There should be registration up soon for it.

[Maxi]

I must have missed the bit in the title saying "Gigabit . Fight Thread. Spam Away"

[DrSp3d]

Yeah i was just thinking that max...

Guys, u either want to go or you dont... dont start a debate on the pros and cons of a GiG lan here... ktabi

[BR3TT]

Bulahdelah is famous cause I drank 2 cokes there.

Man, by the time u go from Tuggerah to Bulahdelah you feel like crying.. So -_-

I'm probably missing this LAN due to the lazyness factor. lol

[LogiK]

BR3TT, You might be able to get a ride with some other ccglers that think its a waste of time and take one or two cars or something.

I ams teh win! My parents have property at Bulahdelah, so I could actually sleep there or something lolz. But I'll be working over those dates

[LogiK]

You were going to be working over those dates Dezza. Not anymore.

[DrSp3d]

sry dude, but tha fact that its so incredibly close to PhatLan... u got no hope...

[LogiK]

yeah I know. Im lucky im leaving the day after phat to head up there and stay with cousins for a bit :P.

yep, ill be there!
though now ive got friends with cars (and my own car now) so i think ill leave the bike at home :P

from what i can see there will be no bottleneck in the lan due to the fact that it will only be on the one switch. it wont be going throungh multiple switches to a master.

anyways, ill see ya'll there B)

[LogiK]

Dates are 19th, 20th and 21st of January. I know it conflicts with CCGL but sorry I can't get a different date. Entrance is only 10 dollars yes 10 dollars. We can have a max of 35 but no more sorry guys.

PM me if you want to register.

Bring
Up
My
Post

[DrSp3d]

what ?

[Jimmeh]

thats what i thought :blink:

[Maxi]

Bring Up My Post

====BUMP

[Jimmeh]

oooooh bump.. why didnt he just say that :\

[Beneh]

Err its kinda obvious though ^_^

[DrSp3d]

yeh now he has edited it :P

All Gigabit LAN isnt going to be very fast, better off using 10/100.

The reason noone is allowed to use a gig port @ CCGL is because the person connected will kill that entire row of tables. I have had a few chances to use gig @ CCGL and prefer to use 10/100 as it goes much faster.

And YES Gigabit IS SLOWER than 10/100 in certain circumstances. LAN's being one of them.

ie, my suggestion to have one whole table as gigabit for those people who need / think they need that amount of bandwidth. if all the big windows updates / linux distro sharers and downloaders stay on that table, no large amount of data has to travel onto the rest of the network therefore both speeding up the normal network for everyone else (10 people on the one table transferring data to other tables at 100mbs = full switch). provided that the data stays on the one gbit switch then u dont have the performance issues either with data trying to get onto the rest of the network

edit:
the gbit lan aforementioned however will be using a 40-odd port switch therefore there is none of the bottleneck between switches. so in this case gbit IS FASTER then 10/100 :)

depends on the quality of the switch, what program you are using to share teh linux distros, packet sizes and the speed of everyones HDD's

one other thing wrong with GBit is that the overheads required for transmission are also bigger, you wanna make sure your cables are up to scratch and that the hdd is fast enough to keep up.

this is why 10/100 is usually faster. the packet sizes are smaller, there is little overhead and the hdd can keep up.
