luca, NS8 will implement multi Node instance, with potential for failover, between supported applications for the use case. a master(main) node is defined, and others join. then when installing an app, you chose where the app is installed. so NS8 will support some failover, its the app which will chose to implement this.
If you are relating to the firewall internet link load balancing, then you are right ns8 won’t be in charge of this feature. Another product will be developed to be used as a firewall. Nethesis has sold firewall and asterisk server since one or two decades I think, something new will come.
yeah, it does sound so. for the longest time possible, i actually never fancies opnwrt, though i understood it was much better tplink, and other vendor specific router oses,
Recently, i discovered it actually does have a strong firewall system within it, and it started to grow in me.
With the current release of OpnWRT, which uses NFtables, i would definitely say, it could be the next firewall module, with alot more items, and probably alot more support, and NFtables, seems to be the future, from iptables and shorewall
