Hi,
I am building my own linux cluster but I got a very limited budget.
One node in the cluster will serve as the master node that contains a NFS server.
All other nodes will mount a NFS directory on this master node.
Clearly, the master node will be the bottleneck of the network as all file accesses go to the master node.
I want to upgrade the master node with the new ASUS motherboard that has a 10G ethernet port.
But I have no money to buy 10G ethernet cards for other nodes. So all other nodes will have 1G ethernet ports only.
I think a 24/48port 10G ethernet switch will work well, but they are a bit too expensive for me.
Is there a Ethernet speed that has one 10G ethernet port but many 1G ethernet ports?
