To put some BOTE numbers on that, suppose you want to provide for 1

to play with (500 x 1TB, ~3 hops), 150 MB per month per user, or 450 Baud
Let's say each user has 500Mbps up and down. I usually break out a shell interpreter like python and type things in to get them exact.
A single user transfers 150 TB a month with 500 Mbps.
>>> 500*1024**2 / 8 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30 / 1024**4
154.4952392578125
So a million users would be a _million_ times that. Each taking three hops is a pretty small factor, still beyond petabytes of transfer ... what error have I made?
