Greetings-

We have a client who needs to upgrade their firewall.
As clients have been known to do, they challenged us
to justify our recommendation with "real" numbers,
"Why do we need 2 million or even 500,000 sessions".

It would be nice to find a typical statistical user
description that says something like, The "average"
user loads Y web-page that starts X http sessions and
downloads Y many mp3's that are Z MB's, Sends Q emails
that are P Kb in size, etc.

Merit (www.merit.edu) said they don't have those kinds
of stats. I have found some interesting numbers at
http://www.caida.org/outreach/papers/AIX0005/, but
does anybody else have different info, that they would
share, that would put average quantities to the
average packet size.

Thanks
rb-
