RE: [smartBridges] how many systems can ...3rd time of asking

hi tom

thnx for ur answer. actually the 16kbps/16kbps is on ISDN {vsat}. i had a client on this speed he wz using around 10pcs but i did not allocate any bandwidth to him.

now i used a mikrotik router with bandwidth mgt i assembled myself and set his bandwidth to 16kbps/16kbps and his speed slows down considerably. we are both arguing the actual number of systems he should hv.

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.
