I support your application if you can manage the required bandwidth. Please note that upload/download requirement is 100 Mbps for the node, and 100 Mbps for the gateway (separate), 200 Mbps total. So you are 50 Mbps below the requirement. Can you somehow upgrade your bandwidth or run your gateway on a separate network?
