BxBoy Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Just curious to see if it's become mainstream yet. Is your LAN on Gigabit yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tRr Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 My computer came with Gigabit built in but I have never had the equipment to utilize it. My friends 15in Powerbook should be here soon and he'll want some of my files, so that will be the first time its every used... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 We are currently running on 10/100, but I will be getting a switch soon for all of our servers....and of course me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Player Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 My card is 10/100 but my school has us choked down to 10 even though their hardware supports 100 ******s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 my server has a card, im going to upgrade my hud to gigabit soon so my server can dole out data between my pcs easier when more than one uses them (using roaming profiles is pretty intensive when 2+ people logon at once (fairly often) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranceSphere Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Mines only 100 :( Most schools and colleges only use 10mb cos there is no need for a faster connection (and it would also cost a lot). And if all the pc's are going to be running at 100mb then your gonna need a 10gb backbone :no: (depending how many comps). If your gonna have say around 400 comps each one running at 100mbps and all of them accessing multimedia content on the network then it would kill a 100mb/1gb backbone.

jwkuipers Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I am running at 1GB. I have a Dell 8 Port 2508 Switch. Good invesment :-) Lighting fast transfers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why does a 4000 user company runs a 100 MB network with only a 10MB pipe to the net with no issues on speed to the net? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted October 13, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 13, 2003 I don't have a LAN at home.. just one PC, so I can't speak for there. Work we have loads of gigabit though.. my mac is linked into a Cisco Catalyst at 1Gbps over copper (only machine in the office to be like that) - and pretty much every server is linked into the core at 1Gbps over fiber. Bloody quick, I tell ya :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Network conditions might be nice, but you can only download sites as fast as the other end can upload it, so I don't think that you would see much change there right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranceSphere Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 So why does a 4000 user company runs a 100 MB network with only a 10MB pipe to the net? It just depends how the network is setup. And what type of files are being transferred over the network. If its just gonna be logging in and a little bit internet usage & saving a few documents over the network, then it will be ok (You will only need a 10mb connection to the computer). But if you are going to be transferring large multimedia files etc... its gonna use the bandwidth up very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Network conditions might be nice, but you can only download sites as fast as the other end can upload it, so I don't think that you would see much change there right? You would see no change in internt speed, unless you are running a SUPER SLOW 1MB LAN which i dont think anyone does :) Gigabit networks are for users who work alot on their local LAN, mostly for buisnesses. I don't see why anyone else would really need it unless they are transferring HUGE files all the time. My 802.11b connection is great at my house, dont need anything more then that.

Frank Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I dont see how transferring files over the network would matter. Only connections over the internet. Plus, on a college campus, how often do you transfer FILES over the LAN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranceSphere Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Plus, on a college campus, how often do you transfer FILES over the LAN? Where I am we use the network a lot, saving a lot of files (multimedia), accessing all the lecture notes (all made in powerpoint and are around 5-20mb in size) downloading at high speeds (over 5mbps), accessing programs, MSDN stuff etc.... There is also a virus going around taking up a lot of bandwidth on our network. The network is extremely slow at the mo cos of the virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 But you are doing this on the LOCAL network. Unless you have two different locations then it would just go through to 10/100 switches.... not the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Veteran Posted October 13, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 13, 2003 My college has 20 servers, with a 1GB connection from each one of them, sharing 100MB out to its clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
