I think for 2Mbit, having them all on the same box is acceptable... > ntop will send data to the Interbase server which I will use for storing the stats. > So what machine will do the job, if the users don't query to often the server for >stat (say 5-6 times a day). > My current thoughts are for ~1.7GHz Pentium with 256MB RAM. Less CPU, more RAM. You will probably do fine with an older PIII or Athlon, in the 600Mhz - 1Ghz range. I have a PIII-550 that routinely sees 9Mbit of traffic...but its not a DB server. Since database serving is mostly about having things cached and having enough room to work with large datasets... another 256MB(to bring it to 512) will probably do you a lot more good than the P4 will(yes, even if its using Rambus). _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ntop.org/mailman/listinfo/ntop
