Re: [XCON] On encodings - observations

["Pete Cordell" <pete at tech-know-ware.com>]

I for one need more numbers to be able to make a judgement on this.  Does 
anybody have an idea of:

- how many messages are likely to be sent to/from a client in an active 
conference?  (is it messages per second, or seconds per message?)

- does the messaging load for the client increase with conference size, or 
does it stay flat?

- How many clients is a server expected to interface to at one time?

Thanks,

Pete.
