RE: WAN utilisation [7:49105]

2002-07-18 Thread Abu Mwalie

Yes, the recommended WAN utilization should not exceed 70% (on average, I
think).

Are you doing CCDA soon - because this is more of CCDA stuff? Well, I am
doing it in about 2 weeks time, and if you have any experience or ideas,
please, let me know.

It seems to be a feared exam!

Anyway, WAN utilization is less than 70%, as is Token Ring/FDDI!

Is the limitation in the router hardware or the WAN circuit itself?

I don't think it's a limitation so much as a guideline.  And this guideline
applies to the circuit, not the router hardware.  There are other criteria
used to judge if the router needs to be beefed up, like looking at CPU load,
memory, etc.

Yes. The 70% average utilization threshold for WANs is just a guideline. I'm
the one who introduced it to Cisco documentation when I put it in the
Designing Cisco Networks course! ;-) And I got it from the guideline we used
when I did network consulting for Network General (now Network Associates).
The reason we chose 70% was just to make sure that most traffic could still
get through even if there were bursts.

It's 70% in a 10-minute window, by the way. Utilization stats only make
sense, by the way, if you include a timeframe.

Take baseball for example. We can all think of someone who has a really high
batting average for this season or maybe just for this week, but their
average for the last few years or their lifetime average sucks. (Maybe
steroids have something to do with that. ;-)

Indeed. Good points.
