- I'm running at about 18,000 hours/month at poe. I prefer to express it
- as an average of 25 users on all the time. I peak out at about 50-55
- users most days when school is in session. Our rule of thumb used to
- be that an average of 3 users all the time was needed to make actual
- traffic beat out the overhead, but the number now is more like 8 or
- 10, which is around 6,000 hours/month.
-
- Of course, Avalon could simply add totals of "useful traffic" verses
- "overhead" to the stats that the server collects. Then we could simply
- look at the ratio. If it's less than 1, then you'd be better off
- having your users client to a bigger server.
