(there are lots of inbound things which would account for almost 10 points of that 25% outbound, so call it 20%) In other words, I could *just* work with a 128kbps link for my web servers. 25% of my web traffic is generated by 5 of the web servers (3% of customers); all the rest of the customers generate profit.
