Performance considerations
The Internet is a world-wide network in which millions of participating members,
including host computers and users, change constantly. Because there are many
factors, both single and combined, that influence your Internet access, it is
impossible to discuss performance in terms of precise numbers. Additionally, the
speed of the user’s workstation and available memory size affects performance.
The following information provides some broad guidelines.
Normal delays
Some delays you might experience while accessing the Internet are normal. For
example, delays can happen if a computer to which you are trying to connect is
down or simply busy, if the path is congested, or if there is a temporary Internet
circuit failure anywhere along the line. These types of delays are beyond the
control of the Instant Internet unit. By the very nature of the Internet’s structure,
any operation is prone to delays.
Number of simultaneous connections
Instant Internet is limited to 250 simultaneous IPX applications, which can be 250
users, each running a single application. Windows users running multiple Internet
applications at the same time can occupy the equivalent number of user positions.
Total available bandwidth is shared among concurrent users. Depending on the
applications in use at the same time and their respective socket requirements, the
number of simultaneous connections can vary. Operations that produce heavier
loads include simultaneous FTP downloading, file transfers, downloading large
graphics, and, in some cases, intensive Web browsing.
