Ideally, you'd come up with an example of the type of job the workstation will be doing in real life. For example, send some emails, write a document etc. Get a citrix client (and server!) and an ltsp client with appropiate applications installed to do the required job. Measure the network traffic (by whatever means you have) between the client and it's respective server during this process: Power on client Login Run applications Logout You can then work out an average bandwith use over the whole session as well as peak usage. Depending on the situation, you may not power on/off each time a client is used. Also, for ltsp, running local applications will presumably make some kind of difference. It'd be very interested in any comparisons, whatever the applications used are. I'll also see if I can come up with some numbers on machines here. -- Phil Davey Computer Officer Hughes Hall College, Cambridge Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
