Quakecon '99

The majority of the network setup for Quakecon '99 was done by Linksys, a manufacturer of home networking products as well as a few entry level high end networking products such as switches and hubs. The wiring job done here was amazing, the backbone itself was powered by Lucent with all the switches and everything else handled by Linksys. Below you can see the wiring job involved with it all...

And here is David from Lucent who was helping out with the network. While we were talking to him, he helped use the network setup to find the MAC address and then the actual port of a user that was caught cheating within a few minutes. The response time of the team down there was very commendable, if only our server guys were that quick :)
