What Will The Internet Look Like For ETHDenver 2024

The IT team for ETHDenver 2024 has performed a comprehensive assessment of the state of the IT infrastructure for the upcoming show, this included 2 site visits, review of internal communications about issues, and collection of explicit feedback from stakeholders. During this assessment the IT team identified the following major pain points and have taken steps to remediate:
• Undersized core infrastructure which likely resulted in dropped connections when the firewall state table filled up
• Undersized NAT Pool causing throttling to various services due to an uneven distribution of connections
• Lack of access point density in the BUIDLHub resulting in dropped connections and overloaded equipment

Throughout the venue the IT team is taking steps to identify wireless dead zones and improve coverage proactively, they have developed reactionary plans to resolve reported dead zones in real time, during the event through tactical deployment of equipment. No more than 20-25 clients per access point. After careful consideration, they have decided to deploy network switches at each row to provide optional hardwired connectivity.
