What about htis. The server tries to dump data to the client over the 10M pipe. The client cannot accept it as fast as the server can put out. Having a slower line to the client in effect will cause degradation at the server.

[7:65077] Scott, I think you have a great point, it seems that most of the computer technologies we have today are not taken full advantage of. However instead of taking the air out the sale's staff sales as it were ( no pun intended ). Why not suggest upgrade from the Idf's to the server farm. You could suggest Ether Channel to combine some of the runs you have put in ( I'm sure ) when you are upgrading your networks. This way you have more bandwidth to the server farm and fault tolerance. WOW now that's a selling point. Also it can be done with out raising up the costs on hardware to much. You can get duel interface NIC's for your servers that are fairly reasonable now. I am amazed at the push for processor speed now, I can think if very few people that NEED 3Ghz with 2Gb of RAM. However no one NEEDS a Jaguar eigther, some people just want it and if they can afford it so be it. Look at the situation this way at least if your going for over kill the network will perform well, that is better than underselling and then having your clients be upset because they are limited in the future. But hay that's just my 2 cents. Take it with a grain of salt. = ) Steven Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=65198&t=65077 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
