How do you figure ??????? ... if the orbital height is approx 22,000 to 26,000 miles, then 100,000 miles is a pretty close approximation as it takes 4 legs for a complete round trip : Outbound Uplink 25,000 miles Outbound Downlink 25,000 Inbound Uplink 25,000 Inbound Downlink 25,000 100,000 miles total Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !

You are off by a factor of two on your round trip distance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosynchronous_orbit -----Original Message----- From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:egold...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 9:23 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: www.Sunbelt-software.com down? Quick approximations : Speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. Round-trip distance of VSAT is approx 100,000 miles ( up-down-up-back ) The mechanisms of the network always add to slow the theoretical max speed So I stick with my 600-700ms best case scenario Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !

Hmm, that's about double what I remember, but maybe I was thinking of single-leg latency.
