I have a FreeBSD web/mail server in a colocation facility. They offer many fixed and burstable bandwidth options. I am currently using 512Kbits fixed, which limits data transfer to around 64K up and down, simultaneously. This works okay at the moment, but I'm wondering how this will hold up as I add websites to the server. Other than empirically measuring load on the box, is there a way to predict or measure how much bandwidth I need? Any rules of thumb? Thanks: John
