Hello,
When hosts offer 5 GB of B/W, which one do they offer:
inbound or outbound or both?

 | View Full Version : Bandwidth: inbound & outbound coight 11-30-2002, 06:05 AM Both, in Australia they usually specify it. 1upromo 11-30-2002, 06:11 AM Yes, both :: paVel :: 11-30-2002, 06:25 AM Does Inbound gets used lots? eg: if my web site is 100 KB and 1 person views it How much inbound and outbound would it use? 2KB inbound and 100KB outbound ? ? coight 11-30-2002, 08:22 AM Good question probably a few bytes just for tcp/ip traffic. bwho 11-30-2002, 08:33 AM depends, ask the host. some places only charge for outgoing, and dont care so much about incoming .. unless its a dos attack or something of that sort. dbbrock1 11-30-2002, 07:47 PM Incoming traffic is used when uploading files TO the server. StevenG 11-30-2002, 08:52 PM In and out :D :: paVel :: 12-01-2002, 03:37 AM So if my web site has 10 000 hits a day... How much of Inbound Bandwidth would it use? jolly 12-01-2002, 07:21 AM No one knows how much inbound traffic it will be... whatever it will be multiply with 10,000 And as you mentioned above outbound 100kb X10,000..... :D :: paVel :: 12-01-2002, 08:38 AM Originally posted by jolly No one knows how much inbound traffic it will be... whatever it will be multiply with 10,000 And as you mentioned above outbound 100kb X10,000..... :D thanx:rolleyes: apollo 12-01-2002, 12:23 PM usually, the highest of inbound or outbound bandwidth counts.. Toolz 12-01-2002, 12:38 PM I'm just speculating here but I suspect the proportion of inbound is a lot higher than just "a few bytes for TCP". I've just been on WHT for 15 minutes and my connection says Bytes sent: 500k Bytes received: 2000k I reckon that 500k was inbound traffic for WHT? That sent/received ratio is fairly typical no matter what surfing I'm doing (granted it could be some M$ "phone home" software doing the trick as well though???) Techark 12-01-2002, 12:44 PM This is farily typical of my servers some are busier than others but the the spilt is about the same. The statistics were last updated Sunday, 1 December 2002 at 11:40, at which time 'atl-2924-J' had been up for 191 days, 2:28:36. Last 30 days usage (Metered 95%): 317.39 kb/sec Last 30 days usage (Metered 95%): 100424.17 MBytes Total Utilization ( Last 30 days ): [In 39973 MBytes] [Out 11254 MBytes] Max In: 829.2 kb/s (0.8%) Average In: 85.8 kb/s (0.1%) Current In: 49.8 kb/s (0.0%) Max Out: 306.0 kb/s (0.3%) Average Out: 29.0 kb/s (0.0%) Current Out: 49.0 kb/s (0.0%) apollo 12-01-2002, 01:09 PM set-up MRTG and you will see all inbound-outbund traffic :) RajanUrs 12-01-2002, 01:52 PM Originally posted by jolly No one knows how much inbound traffic it will be... whatever it will be multiply with 10,000 And as you mentioned above outbound 100kb X10,000..... :D So it means 10,000 hits of a page of 100kb size = 1 MB traffic approx. ????? Bytes (8 bits) 0.1 bytes: A single yes/no decision Kilobyte 1,024 bytes Megabyte 1,048,576 bytes Gigabyte 1,073,741,824 bytes Terabyte 1,099,511,627,776 Petabyte 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes Exabyte 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes Zettabyte 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 bytes Yottabyte 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes silversurfer 12-01-2002, 01:54 PM It depends on the host ... ask them. Some do not count download due to the fact that hosting hardly uses this bandwidth. Do note that even if your traffic is 100% upload only, some amount of download traffic will be used as well (ack packets and stuff) From my experience... the ratio is about 30:1. i.e for every 30 bytes uploaded, 1 byte of download traffic is required |
