What is need is the maximum link speed in bytes/second. I would also recommend that you put some fudge factor in there particularly if you think you might be increasing the link speed at anytime. (For example we replaced a 786K DSL with a 3M connection).

The following formula should work, but I have not tried it (I just guessed).

(Link speed in bits/second / * (1 + “fudge factor”)

For example for a T1 connection (1.5 Mb/s = 1572864 b/s) which we think will double some point the future with a 5% additional

(1572864 / 8 ) * (1 + 1.05) = 403046

I hope this helps.

Only problem I am running into is that I dont fully understand what you mean by:

When creating graphs you will be prompted to enter a maximum value for decrypt/encrypt bytes. You MUST enter a value equal to the fast connection of any of the tunnels being monitored from this device. Otherwise you will see huge spikes every 8 hours.

Where do I get the maximum value for decrypt/encrypt bytes?

Thanks!
