Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Bandwidth counting for serevrs under vlan

[lwknet]

may i ask something about the general practice of dedicated server companies here.....

how is bandwidth counted for server to server transfer under vlan?

is alloted bandwidth of those servers counted combined or still treated individually?

thanks

Most companies have no choice but to include server to server traffic in their bandwidth counters. Its the norm, unless you get your own switch to interconnect them.

is vlan only for security concern?
