Outbound Queue Size

The size of an outbound queue is calculated using:

OutboundQueueSize = OutboundQueueVolume * (FailureDuration + SaveInterval)

where:

• OutboundQueueVolume is the amount of data in bytes entering the queue per time period.

• FailureDuration is the maximum time the queue is expected to buffer data for an unavailable site. For the purpose of these example calculations, assume that failure duration is set at 4 hours (14,400 seconds).

• SaveInterval is the time configured for that particular queue. For the purpose of these calculations, assume that the save interval is 2 hours (7200 seconds).

• FailureDuration + SaveInterval is 21,600 seconds.

The OutboundQueueSizes for the three sites are:

Site1 = 7K/sec * 21,600sec = 151MB

Site2 = 15K/sec * 21,600sec = 324MB

Site3 = 9K/sec * 21,600sec = 194MB
