7.5.2 IP Restrictions
The following restrictions apply:
•
The CLSS Gateway must have a static IP address. Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) is
not
supported.
•
Web access via an HTTP proxy server is
not
supported.
7.6 Bandwidth Calculation
Use the following information to calculate the network bandwidth CLSS Gateway usage
requires and how it will impact the network.
Requirements for the Calculation
•
One request and response pair requires 329 Bytes (66 + 263).
•
If a client is polling at one second intervals, then request and response are both
possible in one second.
•
A request and response pair creates network traffic of 329 Bytes per second (329 x 1).
•
In other words, a request and response pair creates network traffic of 2632 bits per
second (329 x 8).
•
Therefore, the network must be able to accommodate at least 0.0027 Mbps data flow.
•
Once every five seconds, an analog request adds a small amount of network traffic.
•
Formula for CLSS Gateway network bandwidth requirement based on polling rate:
Bandwidth Requirement
=
(329 x (1000/polling rate in milliseconds) x 8) / (10 ^ 6) Mbps
