Looking for meaning of 1/255
- Thread starter apishko
- Start date
The 255 is just the max load of the interface. The actual amount depends on what kind of interface it is. On a FastEthernet Interface then 255 = 100 Mbps. On a T1 interface then 255 = 1.544 Mpbs. It isn't a constant, but it is used as a constant scale for any interface to see the overall load and not the bandwidth.
Hope this helps.
