Performance considerations for network
-
Hi everyone. So I'm considering Veyon as a solution for moderating 15 computers in a computer lab for kids. The lab itself has its own gigabit network switch that all the lab computers go through, isolated from the rest of the building's network. Here's what I'm thinking in my head of how ideally it would be configured and run:
-
Veyon would be hosted on a headless server in a network cabinet, but the actual facilitator/teacher PC would be what needs to be able to act as the controller. Unfortunately I can't host Veyon on the facilitator PC because it's a USFF that has too limited specs and upgradeability. So is that something that can be done? Hosting the Veyon software on a separate computer (the server in the cabinet) than the computer that will actually be used by a teacher to monitor the kids computers?
-
Ideally, there should be no notable network performance drops if Veyon is being used on all 15 computers while Roblox is being played on all 15 computers.
I originally had been considering LanSchool, but we're limited on funds so I need to go the free route.
I appreciate any input on this. Thank you so much.

Bumping. I apologize if that's written somewhere as a rule, but just hoping to avoid taking the time to setup an entire Veyon configuration if it's going to be too much for the network to handle. This will be the only bump I'll do so I'm not a bother

Hello. Could you please tell me how I can gain reputation?：）
I assume if your replies/topics are upvoted, then that'll probably gain you reputation. Although someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.

As far as I can tell Veyon uses self-hosted VNC. As far as I know VNC is between client and server, there is no inbetween. The only way that would work (in my head) would be to set it up on a server, then you use your instructor computer to remote into the server to view everything.
I just tested it on our network and you can use Veyon on your Instructor computer to remote into the Server Installation of Veyon, and use the Server Veyon to view all of the other computers.

Thank you so much for this input!! Although I don't really have a specific deadline for getting this setup, ideally it'll be setup before summer break kicks in, because we have summer day camps that will use the computer lab much more heavily than during the school year. So I'm gonna definitely slot out some time here within the next month or so to get this all fully figured out.
Again, I appreciate this! Helps me greatly in getting a better idea of if Veyon may be a high potential solution for our needs.
Thank you!
