Hi, Il use the example you gave above using a 10MB = 10000000 (bits)
lets assume at t(time) InOctet was 4000 OutOctet was 3000 Total=7000 You have to convert the total In and Out octects(bytes) to bits(the link speed is in bits) hence to multiply by 8 7000*8=56000 56000/10000000 (all in bits) = 0.0056 * 100 (to get a percentage) =0.56 (less than 1 percent of the bandwidth is being used at that time) this just to show you the calculation. But as Priscilla said utilization only makes sense in respect to the total bandwidth, available capacity and also as a function of time. Fred went a bit more deeper and detailed which actaully explains how best to inteprete utilization e.g on wan links etc Fred - dont see any more posts from you in the Ovforum anymore. regards, seun Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=72989&t=72888 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
