TLDR: Don't do 3 ports on your LAG between sites. For your "future proofing" I would advise against doing 3 ports in an LACP LAG/Port channel. The load balancing algorithm is only optimal in powers of 2. So 1, 2, 4, or 8 is good and 3, 5, 6, or 7 will be sub-optimal. There are 8 subqueues of the load sharing algorithm for the LAG which are assigned to members whenever a port came up in the LAG group. Traffic is allocated to the subqueues in a round robin manner. Using 100Gbps ports, the following summarizes the allocations and effect: 2 ports - each port get 4 subqueues - bandwidth is 2x100Gbps = 200Gbps (2x 100Gbps flows) 3 ports - two get 3, one gets 2 - bandwidth is 2x100Gbps, 1x67Gbps = 267Gbps (2 x 100Gbps, 1 x 67gbps flows) 4 ports - all get 2 subqueues - bandwidth is 4x100Gbps = 400Gbps (4 x 100Gbps flows) 5 ports - 3 get 2 subqueues, 2 get 1 subqueues - bandwidth is 3x100Gbps. 2x50Gbps = 400Gbps (3 x 100Gbps, 2 x 50Gbps flows) 6 ports - 2 get 2 subqueues, 4 get 1 subqueues - bandwidth is 2x100Gpbs, 4x50Gpbs = 400Gbps (2 x 100Gbps, 4 x 50Gbps flows) 7 ports - 1 get 2 subqueues, 6 get 1 subqueues - bandwidth is 1x100Gbps, 6x50Gbps = 400Gbps (1 x 100Gbps flows, 6 x 50Gbps flows) 8 ports - all get 1 subqueues - bandwidth is 8x100Gbps = 800Gbps (8 x 100Gbps flows) Because a data stream/flow can only go over one link at a time, no one user will ever see more than 100Gbps. If the flow decides to go over the port that has an odd number of subqueues, they will max at less than 100Gbps on that flow. I worked at an ISP and one of our customers insisted on having 3x10G connections for their transit and were mad when they only were utilizing a max of 26.7gbps of what they thought should have been 30Gbps.

@@rhamlet5290 Overall total throughput (shared between multiple users/data streams) could be faster (267gbps vs 200gbps) but you would also run the risk of having an individual data stream limited to 67gbps. Any single user will never have a speed test over 100gbps and the unlucky user who's data stream goes over the third link will never be over 67gbps. Most providers or large enterprises dont want to have inconsistencies like that in their network (someone will randomly get the 3rd link that has lower speeds). For a home/small enterprise network like this it wouldn't hurt. It is just something to be aware of and will explain why some users randomly will only max at 67gbps on their "300gbps lag". Imagine trying to troubleshoot this if you didn't know about suboptimal load sharing in LAGs, it would be a nightmare lol.

As a infrastructure engineer that has worked with fiber optic deployments and DWDM it was interesting to watch you do this. One of the things you should consider getting is an OTDR. That would allow you to characterize the cable, measure things like Chromatic Dispersion and it would tell you the quality of the glass used. It's also helpful in telling you if/where a break is exactly on your fiber. I would suggest a video series on OTDR and your experiences with it.

@@BlackViperMWG As an electrician in the US. It works, thats everything he did right. Him as the owner, (speculating here) he is not required to follow the cascade of rules that we as professionals need to, which leads into the "wrong" part. This part I am limited in my knowledge, but one thing that I can say for sure is that, since the cable is easily accessible, and susceptible to damage from external factors, that it needs to be in conduit, or placed where it can not be accessed by "normal" means. Basically, since he ran it in some bushes, if he was trying to make this a permanent setup, he would have to bury it, or place it in conduit, to protect it. That is probably the biggest thing. Then, he would need a permit for such project, and pay all relevant taxes, thousands in conduit (pvc would work). It would have to be buried at least two feet below ground, which where he was, you "could" do it by hand. Bah, this is turning longer then it needs to be. Basically there is a lot of red flags that need to be addressed to "officially" make this a reality, and a lot more than just the cable. God I love my job sometimes. lol

I installed Fiber Optics from the very beginning of its introduction until I retired 5 years ago. The only time I sustained damage was when an apprentice flipped it up into the air and popped it on the ground to try and unloop it. Shattered over 100 feet. Cut and splice time. Overpulling destroys it. Slow and easy is the rule. It is very sturdy when handled properly and never dropped. Love the stuff for distance. Now I prefer point to point microwave for less than a mile.

One of my sisters works at a company that lays down fiber optic cables over long distances. She got her kid a summer job there a few years back, and listening to her describe how bad he was at the job was always hilarious. He once spent over an hour trying to roll up a cable, only for someone else to undo all of his work and then fully roll up the cable in less than 5 minutes. That said, having him around was actually quite useful for the company because it turns out that hard labor tends to result in larger men that can't fit down the "hole". My nephew on the other hand, didn't have any trouble fitting down the hole, so they did have a use for him.

As a guy, who studied fiber communications in high school, worked at a sub-contractor for the big telcos in my country, and now in one of the big telcos as a fiber planning and implementation intern (which for me ends next week), this video brings back memories about what I’ve done before when I used to run cables through trenches and ducts + splicing them lol.

Imagine you're sitting there trying to do your work with a hard deadline that you have to meet tomorrow. Then Linus comes barging in with a banana coloured helmet, gardening gloves and a GoPro strapped to his chest yelling "COME HELP ME PULL THIS BLACK CABLE".

As an enterprise network engineer, when you lifted the switch I was like "no way that is a 100Gb switch" but then I saw that it only has four ports :D makes sense now :D

Three actually, although I honestly think it might be 4. 5 side-by-side units in building 1 (4 for main office, connected, and 1 with a firewall between it and main that is the workshop) OldLab (that is now Creator Warehouse, in a industrial park right next door to park 1, with a dedicated beamformed wireless link to main office) NewLab (with this fibre run), and I think he has another 1 unit in the same industrial park but different building as Main HQ that is for logistics warehousing? Don't quote me idk what the *possible* 4th building was used for, but I thought I remembered him having 2 wireless dishes on the roof of Main before he bought newlab

Literally just seeing this after a fibre deployment to 35 individual homes from a Fibre headend 40Km away here in Wales UK! We use a multimode fibre over these distances with a starting spine cable of 144 individual fibres, in theory (taking 'spares' out of the equation) each fibre can feed 32premises via a 32way splitter. Fibre is impressive stuff, and not as easily broken as you'd think! it has incredible tensile strength, but put a slight kink in a bare fibre and you'll see it snap with no force at all.
