FWIW, I (and in my experience most other people) prefer that you just ask, rather than "asking to ask". Keeps traffic down. :D


Good point... so I'll go ahead and ask then....

Here is the output from the current graph:

Description:    eth1
ifType:         ethernetCsmacd (6)
ifName:         
Max Speed:      1250.0 kBytes/s
Ip:     66.xxx.xxx.xxx (<removed>.bikefriday.com)
The statistics were last updated Friday, 13 January 2006 at 8:25,
at which time 'gateway' had been up for 23:58:45.
`Daily' Graph (5 Minute Average)

        Max                     Average                 Current
In      212.0 kb/s (2.1%)       42.2 kb/s (0.4%)        56.8 kb/s (0.6%)
Out     168.9 kb/s (1.7%)       23.0 kb/s (0.2%)        35.5 kb/s (0.4%)


So, just confirming:

This is an IP address from the outside world looking in.

Our max bandwidth on that port is 1250kilobytes per second.

Does "kb/s" mean KilyBytes per sec, or Kilobits per sec ? Is it just a typo or did they intend it to be described this way i.e. different unit of measure?

Looking at the Average (or any of them for that matter) we aren't even coming close to max'ing out our capacity.

The above is important to me, because I get people coming to me all the time saying "the internet is slow".... after I stop laughing I tell them I'll look into it.... but these stats could support the idea that, assuming no peak use flooding our system, that bottlenecks exist upstream from us rather than within our infrastructure here.
