what is the scale for the number of connections we can share? if we put switches , the all computers in the network can access the same speed?

hi it depends,

A : what connection speed you have

B: what quality switches you use

C: what the connections will be used for

D: how many of the 100 will be online at once

for vidio streeming and music downloads etc this will put a great strain on your speed if say 10 of the 100 are downloading vids the other 90 will feel the strain, but this also depends on incoming connection speed, and switches file sizes etc

for genral browsing and some vid streeming internet, and say at least 10MB you should be ok,

Hope this helps i had to do the same thing for 215 computers on a network and i used a 25MB buisness line, that mainly used for vid streeming but that copes fine

Hope this helps

genrally there is no limit buy many things have to be taken into account

All computers in a network are limited by two things.

First the speed of the backplane, the maximum throughput capacity of the switches. They share it. For instance it the backplane speed is 1Gb 100 PC's connected to it willl, have 10Mb each if no restriction is programmed into the code and all PC's demand equal bandwidth all the time, they don't in theory but this is the case. This describes the LAN.

Second the availbale speed of the WAN connection. This is sattelite connection you refer to for the internet. They LAN distributes this available bandwidth across all device in the LAN.

So again if you have a fixed 10Mb intenet connection from the sattelite, with 100 PC attached via a LAN to this stream you'll have 100Kb for each for them to use, all demands being in theory equal all the time. This is a form of multiplexing

Sumarilly, the answer to your question is no, they will not all get 100Mb each. They share it. You can vary what each PC gets by programing VLANS using dfferent speeds for a group of ports on the switches, but no you can't get 100, 100Mb simutaneous throughput speeds out of 1 100 Mb connection. It's aways shared.

Well first of I need to know the speed of the satellite service you will be using. Right now in my trailer in Iraq we have 4 people hanging off a satellite doing about 400 kps down and 100 up. it gives us the ability to surf and use IM. No VOIP! Sure we are probally paying for more but beggars can't be choosers.

Where is your location that would make it that you can not use cable or DSL?

wiper_king has his technologies mixed up. A router connects 2 different networks mutually. In a house ecosystem it really is usually a house community to the cyber web. A change basically acts as a gadget to connect dissimilar pcs mutually in a unmarried community. In answer on your question in spite of the undeniable fact that, norm has the right theory. you're more effective powerful off letting the community router designate bandwidth immediately. this signifies that if in uncomplicated words one individual is on-line then they could have all the bandwidth yet when many all people is on-line it is going to percentage between them. If, say, 2 all people is on-line, and one is chatting even as the different is downloading a huge document, the downloading pc will use more effective bandwidth, in spite of the undeniable fact that, the router will nevertheless supply the bandwidth mandatory to the chatter If 2 all people is on and downloading tremendous information, they are going to contend for bandwidth, which will regularly be shared frivolously between them. in spite of the undeniable fact that, different downloading technologies use different procedures for sharing. If one individual is downloadign a document from the cyber web (using HTTP)and the different is using Bittorrent, the second one consumer will likely use more effective bandwidth. this is because the router sees the second one receive as dissimilar connections. it is going to more effective likely percentage the bandwidth between connections to the ineternet quite than which pcs are using the relationship on your community. in case you do pick to split the bandwidth between pcs, you desire a router this is able to proscribing the bandwidth to the cyber web each pc makes use of. some advertisement routers contain this determination, in spite of the undeniable fact that more effective can likely be flashed (have their application upgraded) to allow you to attempt this.
