BANDWIDTH QUERY
When designing a network with the obvious use of Servers or whatever else etc, how is bandwidth calculated?
- Is it based on the actual network design ready to be implemented?
Bandwidth will obviously only be an issue across a WAN/INTERNET as in if it is just local connections presumably within the same building then it is just down to memory on each device etc ie server, router, switch etc?
Im not sure about from one building to the next ?
what is it: 2 + 2 = 4, plus 10% for residual - although a REAL bad example i know!!!

ok this looks useful thanks!!!!!!!!

Is there some kind of calculator I can use to work out the calculations of required bandwidth?
how do you even calculate bandwidth requirement on 1 or more servers as Im assuming although you mention, this is down to what features are used within win 2003, ie dhcp, terminal server, file & print server, dns, application server, vpn, ipsec etc etc, which would also depend on how many people use the network and how often as you mentioned already. So im assuming out of 1 server being configured for everything say on an sbs 2003, MS already know the max bandwidth, also based on 75 users for sbs 2003?
This would then act as a guide for anything less than 75 users, and maybe only creating domain, terminal server, dns, dhcp, but maybe no application server, no vpn, nop ipsec etc etc am i on the right track?
thanks for that useful information!!!!!!
