How does a 100Mbit LAN connected server compare to two (or even 10)
'256kbit uplink DSL' servers? At the same time an overloaded pipe is bad,
no matter the size of it...
You can support thousands to tens of thousands of NTP clients with a 128K
ISDN or 256K DSL link; one is only using around 5 kilobits/sec per
thousand clients...at least if the clients are polling at sane rates.
An average load from the pool is low (~7rps for my S2) but also highly
non-uniform. A few times a month there are short spikes reaching even
1000rps for a few seconds (at a full hour only). It's around 0.8Mbps in each
direction. Any DSL line should be saturated during this short periods even
without any other load.
