I have KVM disks sitting in network mounted drives. when I use those kvms the disk read/write happens over the network, and the 1gbps limit can be easily reached as you can imagine.
- gh02t 4y agoOver the internet, though? I use 10 gig inside my network for storage too, but not over the 'net. Doing big offsite backups is the only thing that really comes to mind for me, but even then apart from an initial push 1 gig is more than enough for routine incremental backups for my uses. The best pitch I can think of is "if you build it, they will come." We won't see widespread uses for > 1 gig until people have it, I suppose.
- gtsop 4y agoNo it's not over the internet by I still need it :D I have many devices connected over Ethernet to my router, a couple of those wire up my land disks as described above. it is a legit use case and tbh, anyone buying a switch most likely has an internal networking use case that goes beyond just using the internet.
- gh02t 4y agoYeah, but we're specifically talking about 5 gig WAN. Like I said I use 10 gig internally too and see the use. It's a 5 gig connection to the wider internet that I am struggling to rationalize.
