Dear all, One of our customer want to know the simply way to calculate the throughput in their link.
Right now, they have 64k from us using satellite and both end a cisco router (normal satellite round trip time is 510ms). They just ask me a simple question that how much BW that they can take in one session for e.g. 1024k file download using this link. I don't think I can answer to them by telling them the answer is 1024k * 8/64k (throughput), then if they buy more BW from us (let say 256k), is it just like 1024k *8/256k? After I search the info from internet, I see there is some parameters which make the throughput varies: 1. RTT (Round trip time) 2. Window size 3. Overhead of HDLC 4. MTU size (Max Transfer Unit) 5. link BW Does anyone know that how should I tell this customer? OR there exist any general equipment can show to our customer the estimated value. Also, I really want to know how the above parameters correlated which affect the throughput. Really thx if someone is spend some time answer my Q.
