Hi guys!
So, me and a couple of friends are thinking about arranging a LAN for about 100 people and I have some questions regarding the setup of the network.
The current idea is that we are going to use a left-over computer running an AMD Phenom II X4 965 at 3.4GHz and 8GB RAM.
This will be complimented by a Intel I210-T1 for the WAN connection and Intel I350-T4 for 4xCisco SF300-24 switches for the LAN part.
The integrated NIC on the motherboard will handle an accesspoint for WiFi.
The thing is that we want to QoS the ports that are corresponding to a list of games and the SF300 series are capable of that, but so are the Intel NICs. Would it be better to use SF100 series (which are a lot cheaper) and handle all the QoS with the I350-T4?
The WAN connection is a solid 250/100 Mbit/s.
See the attached document for a chart of the network.
