Hi,
Any remarks on this new FAQ entry:
How much bandwidth will nessus require?
This is a rather hard question to answer. There are some guesses to make
but do not use it yourself.
Now assume we test 65536 TCP ports. This will require at least a single
packet per port that is at least 40 bytes large. Add 14 bytes for the
ethernet header and you will send 65536 * (40 + 14) = 36700 16 bytes. So
for just probing all TCP ports we may need a multitude of this as nmap
will try to resend the packets twice if no response is received.
A very rough estimate is that a full scan for UDP, TCP and RPC as well as
all NASL scripts may result in 8 to 32 MB per host.
