I have a new job and Im finding it difficult to get to grips with the
server; I have never seen a webserver traffic graph by MRTG; I am used to
Webalizer. Can anyone make comments on this...
We are allowed 16000 bytes/sec, this figure is burstable to 512 Kbps and we
are allowed to exceed the 16000 bytes/sec 432 times without charge.
A sample is taken every 5 minutes to see if the figure has been exceeded. In
September there were 8640 or (30*24*60)/5 samples taken.
In theory the bandwidth we are allowed is:
(30*24*60*60)*16000 = 41472000000 bytes (39 Gig)
Plus the additional burstable amount which is hardly worth a mention:
(512-16)*432=214272
According to the MRTG graphs our bandwidth averages between 20-30 kb/s so
taking the higher figure I calculate our bandwidth as follows:
(30*24*60*60)*30=77760000 bytes
Can anyone help me out, am I tying myself up in knots or am I on the right
lines?
many thanks.
