Gateway Placement
Local Machine: Glymur (Windows)
Remote Machine: Hulk Box [Glymur (Debian) + AI 100]
High-Level Architectural Direction
Setup 1: WebUI Control and Gateway on Local Machine + vLLM on Remote machine.
Setup 2: WebUI Control on Local Machine + Remote Gateway and vLLM on Remote machine.
Nodes can be connected to either setup when distributed access to files or system-level operations is required.
Setup1 – Local Machine
Setup2 – Remote Machine
- Nodes are external connections introduced to provide extended access and operational control over a distributed system. Nodes connections are optional in Setup1.
Architectural Comparison and Trade-offs:
Setup1
Setup2 (Recommended)
Architecture
Gateway runs on local machine; LLM hosted on Remote Machine
Gateway and LLM are co-located on Remote Machine.
Gateway Availability
Depends on local Machine uptime and network connectivity
Always-on, centralized orchestration and control.
Latency Between Gateway and LLM
Cross-machine communication introduces higher latency
Minimal latency (same machine)
File Access & Operations
Limited to local machine paths; additional access requires explicit setup/approval
Limited to Remote machine environment; external access requires configured nodes
Failure
Multiple failure points (local machine, network, remote host)
Single point of failure; Easy monitoring and recovery.
Sensitive Data
Stays on local Machine; better control and privacy
Centralized on Hulk; needs strong security and backup.
which setup is best recommended? Will there be any latency between gateway and LLM if located on different machine?
