RE: Re: [OT] WAN throughput comparisons

Hi David.

Yeah, I realise there are loads of caveats to trying to put numbers on
these
kinds of things, but at the moment, that's not really too important, I just
need to get a ballpark figure for the kind of throughput I could expect, in
ideal conditions, over a variety of circuits, such as:

1.5Mbps T1
12Mbps ATM-PVC
2Mbps IP-Flex
8Mbps Cellstream

And a few variations thereof....

Just in terms of "Circuit X will move Y amount of data in Z amount of
time....."

So I can make a stab at estimating some timescales for a migration....
