We are going to be upping our site to site fiber links and I need to right size them. We currently have 90mbps site to site (5 sites) with the main office having a 900mbps. This is private WAN fiber through Qwest.
What I need to do is calculate the estimated bandwidth usage for the following.
~500 users per site using domain services, dhcp, dns, roaming profile logins, file saves from the central office across the WAN, etc.
~100 Cisco VoIP phones per site with average call volume being about 30 calls per hour per site.
Video streaming from central office (assume HD bandwidth levels for growth). Maybe 5 streams per day per site, each stream being 2 hours.
Internet traffic is not in this plan, so we are evaluating that sepretly. The phone and video streaming requirements I can kinda get because they have minimum bandwidths that they require to operate, but the user side is what I'm having trouble with. How do I estimate users logging in, pulling files down, checking email all from the servers at our central office.
