The "Tiscali Group's massive web hosting services" uses 2 directors for 2
server farms, one doing ~55 Mbps with peaks at 80Mbps the other evoved from
30Mbps (as presented in the above URL) to 60 Mbps with peaks at 90 Mbps.
Both are using LVS-NAT on PIII @ 866 Mhz. The formaula in our case seems to be
CPU_load(%) = 0.92 * Traffic(Mbps)
