Three
stricke and your out! :-P
Really
though, it seems the group does not know how to answer that guestion. besides
that, you are asking it the wrong way I believe. Do you really mean 16kbps,
almost 1/4th dialup speeds? Or, do you mean 16KB/s which is closer to 128kbps
(ISDN speeds) in which case you are asking for a Throughput analisys which is
tricky at best.
So if
we assume 128kbps backbone and we assume you want these computers to browse at
least as fast as dial up if not better then assuming that large network theory
applys and the average user uses the full resources 1/10th of the time in peak
usage hours and 1/50th of the time in off peak hours we could assume that you
could have 20 and max 100. Now these numbers work for T1 and larger but I don't
think they scale well to ISDN speeds.
As you
can see, we don't have enough information to answer this well and even with more
information, the numbers of users you can cram on a network segment has started
more Holy Wars between IT and the bean counters that the English did with the
Turks in the Medival times! It is all personal preference, your feelings on what
'Acceptable QoS' means and how talented you are at tweeking the network and
clients to get the best preformance.
Here
is the completely honest, absolutely, 100% correct and infalable , "GIGO" answer
.......... '10'
My
opinion ........ '2'
Average opinion......... '0 Agh, who wants to pay wireless prices for
ISDN speeds. I almost can even bring myself to type the letters. They just FEEL
slow.'
Good
luck

hi,really what is the actual bandwidth a pc requires to be on the net. precisely, how many systems can browse with 16kbps/16kbps link.chizzy
