If the label says it carries 155 Mbit/s (STM-1) it relates to 15.5 % of a 1 Gbit/s ethernet connection :) > We have 6 megs going out. Is > this good, bad or indifferent? Is there anyone out there who can point > me to a resource on this? Bad :) EduCause, the ResNet Survey, ACUTA etc. all have survey results about how much bandwidth a campus has on average. I think even for the US a T2 is not much. (For comparison, in the Netherlands the median for a campus is 1 Gbit/s, and the average is even higher due to several campuses having redundant 10 Gbit/s connections.) > It sounds ridiculously low, but the campus > is functioning quite nicely. I have a hard time believing a campus can function on 6 Mbps. It means that if one of the students downloads ColdFusion your connection is maxed out for 10 minutes. > The question is how much excess capacity > we currently have. excess capacity = nominal capacity - current usage Jochem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
