What network infrastructure I need to deploy to run my render farm ?

If you run a network with a limited amount of nodes and a medium sized scene files, you can just install the software with no particular changes. Otherwise, if you plan to run a serious overloaded renderfarm, read carefully the Muster user manual and how to separate the Muster network data flow from the standard file shares data to avoid stalls on the Dispatcher service activity. As a general rule, you should setup a VLAN for the Dispatcher/Renderclient activities with an higher network bandwidth priority, this will ensure that controlling and status messages between the clients and the Dispatcher are always delivered. Refer to your network system administrator for further information.
