    nicholaspham98 got a reaction from Cree340 in Network layout showoff   
    This is my family's network. With my aunt and uncle on my dad's side being neighbors and having a family with networking and computer background comes a pretty spectacular network.
     
    Colors:
    Purple: PoE
    Red: Main Internet Connections from ISP
    Grey: Got too lazy to continue, but basically consists of:
    vlans
    cable connections
    fiber/ethernet connections
     
    I'm not sure of the specific model numbers, but I do know the switches are Juniper and Cisco.
    There maybe a few errors in the diagram, because I didn't setup the entire network so I'm not entirely sure about it all just an overview from my dad and uncle. Under all three roofs there's a combined 19 people and almost all of us use the internet on a daily basis so you could imagine how much data we pull through a month heck even annually.
     
    Having fiber runs to each house was necessary, because of the cable runs and latency. Also, we have Remote Site VPNs in-place that connect to a datacenter in Dallas that hosts a couple of our site-to-site VPN servers. This is, because the datacenter has "optimized routing" or BGPs coupled with multiple fiber lines to many tier 1 and 2 carriers. Basically what happens here is our network traffic goes through the VPN servers located at the datacenter and from there they take the most optimal route to it's destination. I'm very lucky to have a family and network like this. I just wish my dad would let me in the networking room, but hey at least I get to mess with the ESXi servers and host various services.
     
    EDIT #1: We do have a load balancer for both the GigaPower connections.
