We are doing similar things. Periodic spikes, in and of themselves aren't that bad, but that would depend in their duration. I haven't found bandwidth to really be that big of a problem as much as latency, especially with offices across the country from us.
_____ From: Chris Blair [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 10:01 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Bandwidth We are suspecting we need to increase of our current bandwidth. We are now accessing applications over a VPN tunnel and have added more users over the past few months. Application and Internet usage can get slow during the day. We subscribed to our ISP's bandwidth monitoring reports and I can now view hourly, daily, weekly and monthly bar graphs of our usage. So now that I have these reports, my problem is interpreting them. My Googling is failing me this morning. How much usage is too much? If we are spiking up to 2.5m out of 3.0m, is that OK? What is OK? We are running 2 T-1's that are bonded . Yesterday we Averaged 123.4k in max 1.1m and 0.4m out max 1.8m. Is this good, bad?
