Corporate users (offices) - 8.00 to 6.00 pm home users 7-11.00 pm Number of clients 100 On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 3:41 PM, aki < aki275@googlemail.com > wrote: @jamal ( and @ Karuiki ), before we proceed, we first have to calculate the total expected load at peak and offpeak times. The resource, in this case is the internet. We also need to calculate total number of expected users ( irrespective of number of clients, as clients have number of users who now become number of internet port users). So, how many users in total are you expecting and given that they are a mix of corporate and domestic. If corporate, you know monday mornings email traffic would be extremely heavy etc. So in a nutshell, firstly calculate total number of users. Next, each user will use certain ports eg http, pop, smtp. Lets do the traffic calculation first and follow thru with a step by step. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks Other services @ http://my.co.ke Other lists ------------- Announce: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce Science: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science kazi: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/kazi/general _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks Other services @ http://my.co.ke Other lists ------------- Announce: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce Science: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science kazi: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/kazi/general
