Hello folks, I have to try and provide some information in support of a customer bid giving the anticipated levels of traffic caused by using HUBwatch as a management tool. Before anyone yells "How long is a piece of string" or "How deep is the ocean" all I want to get is some rough ballpark numbers to give an estimate. 1. How much traffic would be generated during an initial connection to an agent to build up the "picture" of a fully configured Hub. 2. How much traffic would be generated when "opening up" a single port on a terminal server/repeater. 3. How much traffic would be generated when retrieving the statistics from a DECbridge 90. If anyone out there has monitored (or could check) all or any of the above I would be most grateful for the info. regards, Richard.

238.1 | Some numbers. Your mileage may vary. | SLINK::HOOD | I'd rather be surfing | Fri May 14 1993 16:01 | 23 |
Here's some statistics from one of our hubs. It's a double-backplane with the following modules in the following slots: 1: DECserver90TL 9:DS90L++ 3: DECserver90M 12: thinwire rptr 4: twisted-pair repeater 14: DS90M 7: DECagent90 15: fibre repeater 8: DECbridge90 16: DS90TL Hub summary view (double-hub, 10 modules): 24 SNMP packets. avg of 10.3 OID's per packet. Terminal server summary view: (DS90TL) 15 SNMP packets. (this will vary depending on how many avg 5.8 OID's / pkt ports have logged-in users) Bridge: (Here I brought up the bridge summary view, and then I also brought up the traffic graph window): 13 SNMP packets. avg 7.3 OID's/pkt - Tom Hood | |||||
238.2 | And the PORT SUMMARY screens for ts's and rptr's. | SLINK::HOOD | I'd rather be surfing | Fri May 14 1993 16:09 | 13 |
I misread your original note... If you just click on a port from the front panel on either a terminal server or a repeater, this is what you get: DS90TL PORT: 2 SNMP packets (15 OID's + 1 OID) REPEATER PORT: 2 SNMP packets (8 OID's + 2 OID's) There were no stations connected to this repeater port; there may be more packets if there are connected stations. |
