Right now at one ~400 person site, I have 187 active local IPs sharing 1487 still-alive connections. Its your regular everyday sales cubefarm. That's just shy of an average of 8 translations per active user. By those numbers, you could have 8,000 salespeople on one PAT.
Personally, I'd cut it faaaaar before that. 800-1000 active, tops. Its not "expensive" to start a second pool, and you never know when a sites deadline for online sexual harassment training will be until 4:40pm when the phone starts ringing... -porkchop On 9/10/09 2:41 PM, "Rodney Dunn" <[email protected]> wrote: > Curious...those of you running PAT for NAT, what is the average > "translations per user" number you see active to determine the address > pool given to PAT to overload on? > > 100 active per user at any give time, 50, ? > > Rodney > > _______________________________________________ > cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] > https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp > archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ > -- Michael Kaegler, TESSCO Technologies: Engineering, 410 229 1295 Your wireless success, nothing less. http://www.tessco.com/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
