A small ISP serving about 7,600 customers runs two identical machines to serve its local agentic work. They are wired into the operations stack: VPP and MikroTik routers, RADIUS, client billing, DPDK metrics, LibreNMS reporting and more.
Hardware
Two identical machines, each:
- CPU: AMD EPYC 7642, 48 cores / 96 threads
- RAM: 512GB DDR4 ECC 2999 MT/s
- GPU: 4× RTX 3090 on PCIe Gen4 x16, with a P2P driver mod
- Power: each GPU capped at 250W
Stack
- Runtime: vLLM v0.30.0
- Model: Swift-1.5-Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-W4A16
Benchmarks (llama-benchy, --no-cache --exact-tg --concurrency 1)
- Prefill (
