Hi, is there a standard or a practice on how much IP addresses an ISP should provide to his/her client given that this client has bought only 2Mb of bandwidth and this client is an ISP?
Umm.. don't bother. Let's think this through. 2Mbits/sec of bandwidth will only sustain about 40 56KB modems doing a simultaneous download.
Even adding in think time and the like, a /24 should be plenty wide enough.
Not really...I regularly see 180+ lines filled and BW utilization averages about 800-900kbps. This is with a couple hundred websites, outsourced news a dedicated DS0 customer that stays pegged almost all the time and several colocated servers. I'll bet this has been hashed here a few times...
