Are we talking:
100,000 clients times
100,000 bits transfer per client (the opiginal message said kb which is
bits)
24*60*60 seconds in a day.
(100K*100K)/(24*60*60) is 115740 kbs (a 2B ISDN line)
OR:
100,000 clients times
800,000 bits transfer per client (100KB - Bytes)
24*60*60 seconds in a day.
(100K*100K*8)/(24*60*60) is 925925 kbs (nearly two thirds of a T1)
this of course doesn't take into account any thing but data and no
latency or protocol factors. A 50% fudge factor (leaving some room
for growth) would mean you need to double those fiqures.
Also, are we talking a 24 hour day or an 8 hour business day or from
08:00 EST to 18:00 PST (beginning of business on the east coast USA
to close of business on the west coast USA) ... what?
