RE: What is the size of a 5250 data stream ?

Extremely little.  I have supported 60+ users on 128K frame relay with no
problems.  Each screen will be less than 2K and that would be 132 x 27 with
lots of attributes set.

Subject: What is the size of a 5250 data stream ?


I was researching some material for a client of ours who is trying to
find out the bandwidth they need on their wireless network if they
decide to deploy the 5250 data stream in their warehouse.

Is there an approximate no of bytes that gets sent over the data
stream, or is there some kind of paper that addresses this ?

I could find one but it is too generic it is more of how emulator
express adresses the issue of bandwidth over a wireless network.
