Howie,
How to setup Ims POST settings in our Ims SE pkg has caused much debate in
my office, so I wrote a little app(below) to account for how we think it
works. First, let me know if we're correct in our formulation. If we are,
I've got a couple of questions...
1) Setting Max bandwidth = 722000 (1/2 T1) Threads = 25 (SE version) and
Allocation Factor = 2 (per your recommendation??) tells us that we'd only be
using 8 or 9 of our 25 threads before we reached very little to no available
bandwidth. So in our case setting the allocation factor 13 would be more
efficent, correct?
2)That said, what's the advantage, if any, to allocating a large amount of
bandwith to our first available thread? Would it be more efficent to set an
allocation factor of 25 and have a more consistent amount of bandwidth to
offer each thread?
Please shed some light on this, as opinions from this list and documentation
on this matter are sometimes conflicting and we'd like to get these numbers
right, once and for all. Keep in mind our goal is to send 20,000 10-12k
emails in an hour or so, given our bandwidth restrictions. Thanks in
advance for any suggestions from you or anybody else on the list thats had
to deal with this. _mark Kecko
