Bandwidth should be measured using http://speedtest.lightbound.com. This is a testing tool provided by the production data center at pan. There is both a download and an upload test.
The following bandwidth recommendations are based on number of workstations (bandwidth per workstation) as measured using http://speedtest.lightbound.com.
1 - 5 workstations | 1.5 Mbps ADSL, Cable, T1 or greater |
5 - 10 workstations | 3.0 Mbps ADSL, Cable, T1 or greater |
10 - 15 workstations | 4.5 Mbps ADSL, Cable, T1 or greater |
15 or more workstations | 6.0 Mbps ADSL, Cable, T1 or greater |
(Speeds indicated refer to the download speed.)
Note that image-heavy assessments (for example any of the Raven's™ assessments) can take awhile to load even with a good connection/bandwidth. Keep this in mind when considering your bandwidth needs.
