Skitter Specifications
Below are minimum specifications for skitter monitors.
| Processor | PIII 1Ghz or better ( Athlon should be fine, too ) |
| Memory | 512 MB |
| Hard drive | 9gig or bigger |
| Network |
ethernet interface
10baseT is okay for current experiments, but we strongly encourage 100baseT to keep options open for future experiments. |
| Operating System | FreeBSD 4.8 (it runs on just about any freebsd from 3.0 on, but for security reasons, 4.8 is the best) |
| Firewall/Port access |
ssh in from 192.172.226.0/25 ( 192.172.226.109 at the least )
3100/tcp in from 192.172.226.3 8443/tcp out to 192.172.226.3 icmp in & out to any ( this is the actual skitter traffic ) some sort of ntp access |
| Required bandwidth | By default, skitter limits itself to 300 52-byte packets per second. This limiting is conservative. i.e. it works out to be less than this in real situations. This setting is also configurable. |
