I did ask him how many users he was looking to size email for. But a lot of questions like, and beyond, that - you may or may not want to answer on nanog. The man said carrier class .. and you have a set of assumptions. If you say enterprise you're assuming like 300K..400K mailboxes for the very largest enterprises. Tops. That'd be a small to mid sized carrier to spec carrier class for. I'll end this thread here. On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 9:47 PM, Zaid Ali <zaid@zaidali.com> wrote:
I think it is a perfectly reasonable question to ask in NANOG. If someone asks how much memory do I need on my router to do BGP, you have to ask the fundamental question of how big your routing table will be. I don't see this as any different. Its helpful to provide opinions when you are guided by some data :)
