Nope. You are averaging 92.5/1500 Kb/s, which is 1/15 of the T1 capacity; your peak is 1200/1500, about 80%. A T1 is bidirectional; in and out are not related. > Am I interpreting this correctly?

Think of it as a point-to-point serial link. > Would the figure above of 1200 Kbps Max Outbound indicate that our T1 > was completely saturated at that point? No, just 80%. -dsr- -- -. --- -- --- .-. . ... . -.-. .-. . - ... ..-. ..- -.-. -.- - .... . -. ... .- ..-. ..- -.-. -. .-. -.. - .... ... ..- -.- -. .-- -.-. -.. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
