Personally I dont think you should pull the video, however if people are mad at you for some reason a delay might not be a bad idea

Video doesn't offend me, but a delay might be wise.

I just want to watch the video 😂

I think i’d like to see it, it’s your video not ltt’s, I have no problem with that.

Is your video after all.. But 200G is something that is worth showing

Agreed! I was not aware of armored fiber prior to this event, and now I want some.

no one should be learning networking from linus tech tips

@@wiziekto be fair, you could learn would not to do in a lot of cases.

​@@wiziekto be very fair to them they are very upfront that you absolutely shouldn't try to emulate what they do.

Yeah and he has a *TON* of stuff still to learn. I am sure every competent network admin was screaming NOOOO into the screen when he was sticking attenuators into LR optical links. They are absolutely not needed under *ANY* circumstance. LR optics automatically adjust the power levels of the laser to not burn out the photodiode at the receiving end. Oh and the continual storage disasters just want to make a competent storage admin like myself want to cry. They haven't the foggiest clue how to do it properly.

Its a good example of how far you can go with the right opportunity and drive. People forget that a year while it seems short, is a lot of learning if you immerse yourself. Teaching yourself to code, or learn networking, or cloud, or some other cool new thing... a year can bring a WHOLE lot.

Emily?

@@jonathanbuzzard1376 What situation would you use attenuators in?

@@devvoid1312 she used to go by Anthony

Thank you - I appreciate that.

@@CrosstalkSolutionsI do think the thumbnail could just be a whale with Whale LAN.

Yea people demanding accountability from a self professed 100mil valuation firm for borderline SA accusations is 'overreacting' for sure.

@@ask_carbon lol troll

​@@ask_carbonthat's not even what most people are pissed about

@@ask_carbonAs someone who has no love for LTT I still wanted to see what Whale LAN was about.

​@@ask_carbonyour comment is exactly a demonstration of the overreaction... How is a video on crosstalks channel being delayed or pulled holding LMG accountable?? You're so disingenuous. Do you want everything LMG deleted from the internet to never be heard from again? Will that make you happy? The parasocial relationships people have with online personalities is sad.

The cache server did it's job...

Thanks! And yes - I did the network diagram myself with Lucid.app.

@@CrosstalkSolutions Thanks for that, I will take a look, as have a bunch of network diagrams to make for work

And thanks for including the network diagram on the website also!

It was said that they used XFS.

That was maybe my favorite part of the whole event...

For the Proxmox server, he said they had a dual 100G NIC, so I might have used a breakout DAC to the switch and then a peer to peer link at 100G to the lancache.

They have (had?) a few products that would have handled that (well, in the UISP range, not the UniFi range) but as they're early access, I don't know if the terms would allow LMG to use them for the LAN

That is a NetGear Meural (very old version) - love it!

I specifically want #2 on that list, That sounds like honestly such a godsend

😏

Using his image on the thumbnail and using the LTX logo sure makes it look that way though.

@@BenKickert Jake built out the network, and LTX has nothing to do with the controversy. I think it's fine. The community is WAY overreacting to everything in my opinion. The madison allegations are worrying, but I'm holding off any conclusions until the investigation is complete.

​@@BenKickertthe histrionics are ridiculous

Dude! I saw an article about Chattanooga's Internet a couple of years ago and emailed in to see if I could come check it out for a video and no one ever got back to me...get in touch!

@@CrosstalkSolutions I will email you.

Email sent

Would be a bottleneck in this situation.

Yea - UI doesn't (yet) make a router or switch capable of these speeds (100Gbps+).

Unifi doesn’t fit everywhere, particularly when you get to real networks like this. I thought it was funny he mentioned issues with Ethernet SFP adapters. That’s also a fun problem with Unifi, had they used another brand of switches they probably wouldn’t have had issues. We use copper SFP adapters everyday in MikroTik and white box switches with no problems

Yea - unfortunately no 100G stuff from UI (yet).

It's a temp setup for a 2-day event lol, not a full deployment. Besides, with Unifi sponsoring I'm sure they had cold spares on hand, it'd take like 3 minutes to swap a switch. If they were extra cautious, they may have even had a fully configured spare core switch.

@@AgencyNighthawk iirc They were talking about how they had spare hardware back at the office too, so in case their cold spares weren't enough, they'd also be able to go grab that quickly XD

tbh, with situations like these, it's always solid to over-spec, rather than under-spec

@@haxie4516 Fully agree -- especially if you don't have prior/historical data that tells you how much bandwidth you need to provision for. But on the other than, there's also an element to this which is "just because they can" since they already have the hardware available. I remember deploying a Sun Microsystems SunFire X4200 server with quad 73 GB 10rkpm SAS 2.5" drives for my private university's LAN party (ca. 2007) and I was using ZFS in Solaris back then, and to distribute games and game updates, even back then, over the quad GbE NICs that were built into the server -- and we manually assigned different rooms to different IPv4 addresses to manual load balance the NICs (we didn't have affordable managed L3 nor L2 switches back then), and the server didn't even flinch. I think that we peaked at something like 1.4 Gbps on the ZFS striped pool, and a peak of 2% CPU usage on the pair of Socket940 AMD Opteron 254 CPUs that was in the system. So yeah, that turned out to be massive overkill, but oh well.

Leave the LMG shit to the courts, none of us know the facts. I do know that everybody lies sometime, so that makes it hard for outsiders to know the truth. Do not participate in cancel culture.

Incorrect.

So you're saying the Mikrotik incorrectly pronounces their own company name on their own videos?@@CrosstalkSolutions

I already went to their videos and tagged you, so no sense in repeatedly deleting my comment when you can just admit you were wrong@@CrosstalkSolutions

crickets@@CrosstalkSolutions

@@phenry5083 Needy much?

Grow up about sexual harassment not being taken seriously? Get fucked.

Did.....did you just have a stroke?

Nobody cancelled LMG, their corporate response was pure damage control, and entirely their own decision.

@markbooth3066 agree but there are people trying too hard and posting negatively about LMG on every single publication that is even remotely link to LMG. I wish we can give them the opportunity to correct and straight up things. We should be cautious but supportive as long as they are addressing this issues.

No visitors of LTX or the technology have anything to do with drama. Chris was wrong acknowledging it

@@jeffrydemeyer5433 Hard disagree, I think acknowledging it was the only way to run with this

Tech bros are incels, aka you op.

Came to say the same thing. Very belittling behavior, are you even really a person until you're hired at LTT?

@Archeious @technicalthug Canadian labour laws would like to speak to the both of you.

@@miguelchristopher7234 I didn't say it was illegal. I don't know US labor laws (IANAL). I especially don't know maple syrup labour laws. I do know what is toxic and LTT and LMG have really gone down that path pretty far.

@@miguelchristopher7234 Eff Trudeau and his stupid laws.

No, that's a fairly standard rule for Canadian companies. It's actually done to protect the employee, not the company.

It was a LAN party, mate XD

@@8-n-125 The video title says 200Gbps network, which is misleading. A 200Gbps network has 200Gbps links and this only had 100Gbps links. Aggregating links does not make it a 200Gbps network as any single connection can never go faster than 100Gbps. I don't call my 200Gbps network at work a 400Gbps network because I have bonds of the 200Gbps. I expect better from a channel that is networking orientated.

@@jonathanbuzzard1376 What are you even talking about right now? You can definitely achieve 200Gbps throughput using LACP with two 100Gbps connections as well as 400Gbps with two 200Gbps. 100Gbps connections are technically already doing this with four internal 25Gbps channels. It's just not exposed to you in the interface. 200Gbps connections are 4x50Gbps channels. I think you're getting worked up over the wrong things here.

@@8-n-125 No the maximum speed that you can achieve between any two endpoints using LACP is the speed of a single link. If I get two hosts plug them into the same switch twice setup a bond for each host and then try and transfer files between them you will only get the speed of a single link. That the likes of 40Gbps are internally 4x10Gbps and 100Gbps is 4x25Gbps is utterly irrelevant to this as it is hidden below layer two. If you don't understand this limitation of LACP then you don't have the foggiest clue about networking frankly and you need to shut up before you embarrass yourself further. If you want to get more than the speed of a single link with a "bond" then you need multiple single links and use Multipath TCP. That however requires support from the OS and software stack to work and is not widely supported yet. As such that is *NOT* a 200Gbps network and the title is dishonest clickbait.

@@jonathanbuzzard1376 Throughput is not limited to measuring a single connection. This network was distributing 200Gbps of aggregate bandwidth from the firewall, to the core, to the 2.5Gbps and 10Gbps client switches. "If you want to get more than the speed of a single link with a "bond" then you need multiple single links and use Multipath TCP. That however requires support from the OS and software stack to work and is not widely supported yet." You are literally describing how this content was delivered to you through aggregate web services, load balancers, and regional caching servers. You're consuming content utilizing the "not widely supported yet" process. Please, before you engage in such aruguments and use disrespectful language to attempt to disparage others in discourse -- try to consider your personal perspective and how there might be a different one. Personally, I push far more than 400Gbps of throughput through aggregate links professionally. When you pay an ISP for aggregate traffic through an LACP bonded 800Gbps connection -- it's based (usually) on the 95% for *throughput* for that full 800Gbps not two 400Gbps connections.

You are chugging the kool-aid by the gallon. Linus isn't nearly as magically transparent as you think. He has legal obligations to be transparent about sponsorships, and just happens to be a bit honest about products when it's convenient.

Too many folks complain about accountability as “cancel culture”, the reality is that if people took accountability they would be forgiven. The response to fight is what makes things worse. I am glad Chris is leaving the vid up but I can look at the network from a perspective detached from the LTT allegations.

I was baffled how much Chris thinks highly of that dipshit.

Or at least avoid obviously cross branding the video with LMG through the thumbnail. Minimize that connection.

WHYYYY? Is the very mention of LMG or LTT just taboo now? I think people need to honestly calm TF down now. Boycott them all you want but with everyone being this sensitive, it's getting a bit much now.

I think acknowledging the issues like Chris did was enough

Linus knows whatever he did was wrong no need to beat the man while he down. Remember he’s no better than any of us, we all make mistakes. Own up move forward

real talk: some need to go and touch grass. this video has nothing to do with what is happening at this point

What a stupid opinion to have

The thumbnail is pretty egregious.

That’s an awfully high horse you’ve got there.
