Object Storage Network Planning For both conserving network resources and ensuring that network administrators understand the needs for networks and public IP addresses for providing access to the APIs and storage network as necessary, this section offers recommendations and required minimum sizes. Throughput of at least 1000 Mbps is suggested. This document refers to two networks. One is a Public Network for connecting to the Proxy server, and the second is a Storage Network that is not accessible from outside the cluster, to which all of the nodes are connected. All of the OpenStack Object Storage services, as well as the rsync daemon on the Storage nodes are configured to listen on their STORAGE_LOCAL_NET IP addresses. Public Network (Publicly routable IP range): This network is utilized for providing Public IP accessibility to the API endpoints within the cloud infrastructure. Minimum size: 8 IPs (CIDR /29) Storage Network (RFC1918 IP Range, not publicly routable): This network is utilized for all inter-server communications within the Object Storage infrastructure. Recommended size: 255 IPs (CIDR /24)
