How many devices will a cipherscale gateway support?

To calculate the number of simultaneous devices your cipherscale gateway will support, do the following:

1. Check the network interface bandwidth that the gateway instance can support. Some IaaS and VPS providers artificially limit the data rates of network interface. Let us refer to this number as Nb.

2. Estimate the average bandwidth of traffic from a device based on the private/SaaS/internet resources the particular gateway provides access to. This can be based on network traffic observation when the device usage can be monitored or based on studies, such as this one which provides bandwidth recommendations by different application categories. Let us refer to this number as Ub.

3. The number of devices a specific gateway can support can be estimated to be (0.8 * Nb)/ Ub.
