Well assuming that you are sending 1 per second you will be using 128 bytes (plus a little overhead) or .125 KiloBytes (KB) per second (transmit & reply) of your 512 Kilobit (Kb) per second connection so:
512 Kilobits = 64 KiloBytes 64 KB - .125KB = 63.875 KB So you are using .1% of your connection. -----Original Message----- From: G-List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry le Mac Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2004 14:22 To: G-List Subject: Continuous pinging - affecting performance ??? In an attempt to keep my Mac/ADSL online all the time irrelevant of net activity I have now set Network Tool to continuously ping my ISP, seems to work... However, sending the 64 bytes every second, how will that affect performance ? I have a 512k ADSL connection. I presume not a lot... ???
