(I am assuming this is for a 24 hour period.) 2.3MB/sec, and actually it isn't for a 24 hour period. Daytime is always much busier than nighttime and you also didn't account for packet overhead and other things. The real number is about 38-40Mbps during the day, or roughly 40% of a fast ethernet. >That means it has surprassed a normal ethernet, but has plenty of room for a >fast ethernet.

The limitation at the moment is Sprint and MCI who don't seem to think they need to upgrade their overloaded DS3 circuits at the PacBell NAP. >So what's the thing doing with a wimpy 2000 user limit? :) It's what limits us from higher data rates. Most people only have 33Kbps modems (or worse), and it takes a whole lot of those to fill a fast ethernet. In a normal day, 80% of the people currently logged in are idle at any given time - only about 20% are actively transfering files. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
