This is a work in progress - do not consider it a complete reference at this time
Rough Planning Numbers
- 32-36 ft^2 (3-3.33 m^2) per participant
- SIPit 20 main hall layout and multiparty test room layout
- SIPit19 had 687.6 m^2 - SIPit19 Floor Plan
- SIPit18 had 5200ft^2 (482m^2) for 160 participants - SIPit18 Floor Plan
- 3Mbps network connection to the Internet
- ~1Mbps has proven to be too slow
- Several recent events have run with 100Mbps links
Points to Consider
- The most important component of the SIPit is the network. This is also the hardest component to get and keep running.
- If the space requirement seems large, please talk to someone from your company who has attended a previous event (or call RjS) to get an understanding of how the space will be used.
- Endpoint implementors will have one or more phones/videophones/proto-boards/consoles in addition to laptops.
- Server implementors will have consoles and occasionally racks.
- Attendees move their laptops to other teams' stations while doing direct ad-hoc testing, and need a place to sit. (There need to be empty chairs assigned to each team).
- Reviewing these representative photos may help
Host and Venue Requirements
Must have
Space and floor planning
- 32-36 ft^2 (3-3.33 m^2) per participant
Network logistics
- Minimum 4 Mbps symmetric connection to the Internet (ADSL will NOT work)
- 768 Public IPv4 addresses for the participants to use (3 Class C networks)
- Absolutely no port blocking or application layer gateway (ALG) between the participant networks and the Internet
- 1 Ethernet port per participant, typically in the form of an Ethernet cable drop to their workspace
- Wireless 802.11 b/g network capable of supporting ~200 clients
Nice to have
- Printer for the participants to use
- IPv6 global address space
