Hi,
I need to implement a firewall for a linux machine whose primary task is a media server.
That is a web site with loads of video: mpeg, avi and wmv formats.
I have everything working well and am very happy.
However I am wondering if there is anything I should consider with regard to higher performance.
I have an idea of how much I should try and squeeze out per machine and would appreciate any feedback.
I want to ensure the machine is not overloaded resulting in slow video streaming/downloading performance.
Currently for:
1) 4000 members this machine has about 2) 200 users at any one time 3) which make about 1500 simultaneous connections 4) using about 75 MBps 5) on a machine with MemTotal: 905336 kB
Right now there are 230 connected users and rising.
When it gets to an average of 250 I'm thinking that is about as much as I can get
from this machine and will add more with DNS round robin.
Tasks: a) www server - tcp port 80 b) port-forwarding/NAT for a Microsoft Media Server - tcp port 1755 - udp port 1755 - tcp port 554 - udp port 554 - udp port 5004 - udp port 5005 c) port-forwarding/NAT for ftp tcp port 21 DNAT --to 192.168.0.10:21
Your input would be much appreciated. Does it everything look OK to you? Or am I tripping out?
Thanks Regards Rudi.
