Well what I usually do in this case is:-
Line speed = 256 Kbit/sec
Page size = 150 kbytes = 1200 Kbit
so max number of hits per sec = 256/1200 = 0.21 = 12 hits per minute (MAXIMUM)
It depends on the pages from there...and how often each user will hit the
site by requesting a page......
This is only rough, I usually halve it for operational work, and it only
involves the pipe itself, though 12 hits/min is fairly low as webservers go.
Another point...ADSL is Asynchronous, I'm assuming you've got something like
a 256k uplink and an 1024 downlink
If it's a 256K downlink then it's probably a 64k uplink...which means your
down to 4 hits a minute.
Hope this helps
