Some telcos have some basic oversubscription requirements, designed more so that they can sell you more bandwidth than as a real practical requirement.
Here in California, for example, the local telco permits no more than a 2 for 1 oversubscription. So if you have 20 spokes, each at 256K CIR, then you MUST have a minimum 2.56 megabit CIR at your center ( fractional DS3 or ATM ), for example. I believe the reasoning is that the telco does not want a lot of calls complaining about their circuits when the problem is overutilization of bandwidth. And they want to sell you more, of course. ;-> Chuck ""Patrick Ramsey"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I usually use the 1 to 8 rule.... for every 8mb you think you need, order 1 > > Will each facility be pumping a solid 14mb across the wan all day long? > > If so, one ds3 (45mb) will suffice at the HQ....then purchase shaped DS3 > circuits for the WAN...
