Is there enough speed for 100 people?

Question

Computer networks

Question for providers.
Is 10Gbps enough for 100 ordinary users, if everyone is given 1Gbps? After all, it is clear that everyone will not be online at the same time, and download something, but I have never tested it in experience. The price for such a tariff is ~ 150 rubles / month

Answer 1

An intra-provider network can be on a 10Gb+ backbone and 1Gb on clients, but at the same time no one will give a 1Gb Internet channel to clients over this network, this is only the channel (physical) speed of the network. Or it will be SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than 150 rubles / month. A thick trunk channel in this case is needed so that when downloading files from each other, clients do not put down the entire network. In a good way, with 100 users and a 10Gb trunk channel, clients should be given a 100Mb connection, otherwise 6-8 people in different buildings, downloading each other's Blu-ray films via dc ++, will put the entire network to hell.

Answer 2

hundreds are planted on 1g. and no one gets hurt

Answer 3

You probably made a mistake by several orders of magnitude - 10mb all the same? If so, then 100 users will not be enough. Maximum, according to the current load for 10-15 people. But on 10GB you can put 8 thousand people.

Answer 4

There is such concept - oversubscription. And there is such a word - the law of large numbers.
The combination of these two words leads to the fact that several thousand people can be accommodated on 10 GB of the main channel without any problems ...
