Just have about 50 users all hitting the internet at the same time they
will get the idea.. ( grin)
if you do the math 128 K divided by 500 aint ,much at all .
But
How many folks DO use the internet,
how much time per day do they surf ?
How much stuff do you cache with a proxy server /
What are they doing on the internet ?
Corp to corp data transfer, email , ???
the easiest way if the net is part of their job is to show how much time
is wasted waiting to access pages etc
this can create a good ROI argument .
I guess one way would be to random sample 10 users,
Dump their browser cache and monitor it for size at the end of each day.
then if each user get say 2 meg of temp files on the cache you can make
some projections from that.
Sure thats not really super accurate but it will give you an idea ..
Also you may want to look into local caching if they hit a lot of the same
sites all the time..
Also if you have proxy server that can give you a lot of info too.
the magic # really depends on what kind of performance .
if you want a deal like everyone can get average performance at any given
time Guaranteed then use say 5k per user.
this way you would have close to 56k modem dialup speed.
And if less people are on the performance will increase guess you need the
corp to define a QOS level and go from there.
I can tell you that I have been on site with 40 users and 56 k lease line
and it's pretty ugly surfing the net., heh

I would like to get some ideas on how to tackle one customer. One
company having 500 users accessing to the internet with 128K bandwidth.
Is this sufficient enough or if it is not how to come out with good
answer to convince the customer
