Some network parameters

56 kbps for V.90 modems
256 kbps - 1 Mbps for Cable Modem and ADSL
1.5 Mbps for T-1 lines
10 Mbps for our Ethernet LAN (saturates at 70% utilisation)

Question : How many players / objects can we support with these different bandwidths ?

NB. We forget any other use of the network : no mail, no web browsing, no NFS, and assume that only the network is the bottleneck
