Network Requirements

[Sascha]

Hello,

I am giving a lot of networking trainings for ISPs. They always ask me how much bandwidth they should allocate for a given application per average active user over the WAN. I have lots of rules of thumb for many applications but not for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Please, could you give me such figures (ranges)? Surely, I know that these figures are only an average and can therefore not be accurate, but since many of the customers have no idea at all, it is better to have such a figure than nothing.

It would be great if you could also tell me which TCP port numbers JD Edwards EnterpriseOne uses and which latency the application tolerates without affecting the user experience.

Thanks!!!

If I remember correctly it's:
15 - 20Kbps for Citrix
7 - 10 Kbps for the HTML client
and you don't want to run the "fat" client over the WAN.

Application connectivity to the Edwards Server are on tcp ports
6009 - 6012 depending on which version you are running (although the listening
port can be changed on the server(s)). This traffic is very low unless you
are using Real Time Events, JDE Transaction Processing, or XML APIs (e.g.
Barcoding software), etc. Most do not.

The lion's share of traffic from fat clients or Java Application servers (JAS)
are from ODBC/JDBC connections to the underlying database (e.g. 1433 for Sql
Server). As long as you keep your Citrix Servers and JAS servers on the same
network segment as the application server/enterprise server/database server as
well as keep the fat clients on the local LAN, the numbers for Citrix and HTML
should be applicable to WAN util estimates.
