      I am in the very preliminary stages of this. I just had an opportunity to build a network for a 1700 until rv park. right now they are stuck with frontier dsl at each residence. No vendor will run past the main office..which works for me. I a thinking about starting with a 10 gig fiber circuit and building out my own infrastructure to serve the park. I am probably going to offer 50 megabit symmetrical to start. I am thinking about a 1541 raid to start. All it has to do is firewall. Each residence will get their own routable ip(at least i hope to at the beginning). Figure 5k folks on it max. think that firewall could handle this?

        @hescominsoon You might want to consider tnsr first and then breaking down past that for the firewall needs.

        Beyond that you might want to think about overall throughput. 1700 units over 10g is about 6mbps per location. You're talking about giving residents 8x that throughput - you will hit congestion at times, possibly very often.
