Link Throughput Q - help appreciated!
I have a question regarding dedicated links and throughput. Our infrastructure dept is just giving me the runaround with no precise answers, so I thought I will ask the Mbit addicts here.
We have a customer in California. We have an office in New Jersey. We have a dedicated T1 from NJ to Cali.
Our IT says we also have a dedicated 256kbps [bits] between Madras, India and NJ. The NJ connection is just for IP routing as a cross connect.
We need to download around 500megs upward and down from Madras to Cali thru this infrastructure on a regular basis.
We are getting abysmally low transfer of 66 minutes for 17.5 Mb [test download] ; our IT says that there can be no committed throughput [ data transfer /unit of time] guaranteed because of latency at various points etc.,
My questions are:
1] Is it true that a minimum throughput cannot be guaranteed on a dedicated link?
2] What is the reasonable throughput I can expect in the given scenario?
Any replies would be appreciated
Thanks
Balaji
