My views are that if artistic endeavour is involved, then it is IP. Architecture is certainly that... the look... but, the pipes, sewerage, electricity, door locks... are not. They are products, bought of the shelf and assembled. It would be debatable if there is artistic endeavour in Network Arch

I'm having a hard time seeing how this reduces cable costs or increases network durability. Each individual server is well connected to 3-4 other servers in the rack, but the rack still only has two uplinks. For many servers in the rack you're adding 3-4 routing hops between an end node and th

We did similar way back in the day (2001?) when GBE switches were ridiculously expensive and we wanted many nodes instead of expensive gear. The (deplorably hot!) NatSemi 83820 gbe cards were a mere $40 or something however. Uplink for loading data via NFS/control was the onboard FE (via desktop

Thanks for the awesome response, you have valid points. This could be me trying to simplify things by suggesting something like Cisco ASA, but the FreeBSD solution will need much more than just a well written ipfw or pf set of rules.
