## Certified Farming Requirements
|
||
|
||
### Individual Certified Farmer
|
||
|
||
- Certified Farms are made up of certified_nodes
|
||
- up to 4 certified nodes
|
||
- home or office location
|
||
|
||
#### Uptime and Network Requirements
|
||
|
||
- 97% uptime is accepted in home farming situations
|
||
- 1 IP feed (consumer provider)
|
||
- 1 public IP address and NAT allowed
|
||
- enough bandwidth to allow the utilization of the storage/archive (see below)
|
||
- good enough latency (low latency = performance of network)
|
||
|
||
### Professional Certified Farmer
|
||
|
||
- Certified Farms are made up of certified_nodes
|
||
- more than 4 certified nodes
|
||
- datacenter location
|
||
|
||
#### Uptime and Network Requirements
|
||
|
||
- 99.5% uptime
|
||
- minimal bandwidth as required for the workloads as hosted on the farm
|
||
- maximum network latency
|
||
- more than 1 internet connection (multiple IP feeds)
|
||
- enough IPv4 addresses
|
||
- at least 1 class C ipv4 addr for network farmers.
|
||
- enough bandwidth to allow the utilization of the storage/archive (see below)
|
||
- good enough latency (low latency = performance of network)
|
||
- [install your network in line with Threefold Requirements](tfgrid_networking)
|
||
|
||
(*) = in case of datacenter or commercial deployment
|
||
|
||
#### Redundancy Requirements
|
||
|
||
- protection for fire & water damage
|
||
- enough access to power
|
||
- redundant power systems
|
||
|
||
#### Terms and Conditions need to be signed

### Bandwidth Requirement for archive/storage usecase example.
|
||
|
||
A storage usecase needs a lot of bandwidth to allow the storage nodes to be filled and also to allow its customers to download the information.
|
||
|
||
It’s the obligation of the farmer to make sure that enough bandwidth is available. We will measure this by doing random upload & download tests to the storage systems.
|
||
|
||
It should always be possible to have at least 1 mbit/sec per Zero_DB (which is a storage container running on 1 harddisk or ssd).
|
||
|
||
### Reputation & Monitoring Engine
|
||
|
||
The TFGrid has a reputation engine and a monitoring engine to measure uptime & other SLA requirements, see consensus3.
|
||
|
||
Factors the TFGrid Reputation_engine will look at (Q4 2021, latest Q1 2022)
|
||
|
||
- Available Bandwidth
|
||
- Latency
|
||
- Utilization
|
||
- Uptime (nodes & network)
|
||
|
||
The monitoring engine could require farmers to execute on certain actions. |
