sadly, in this day & age, you often need to provision for the 'peak' rather than the 'average'. under a DDoS, your average packet size drops dramatically. want to have a guess at what the PPS would be for 6xT3 with minimum-packet-size? :) cheers, lincoln. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
