Selecting the correct option will depend upon how many users you are connecting and what contention ratio you wish to provide. The contention ratio considers how many users you have against how many will be connected at any one time. Typically this ratio will vary from 5:1 to 10:1. This means that a Nortel Contivity supporting 5 consecutive tunnels could actually support between 25 and 50 users depending on their working practices.

However, Broadband Internet offers new methods of working. Home workers can now be exactly that. They can do a full days work from home. These people will need a tunnel each. Many other people will require periodic access that is often random. These people will normally be served by a contended service.

For example:
A Trust has 10 home workers and 50 other remote users
The home workers require a tunnel each - i.e. 10 tunnels

From their working profile you know that the 50 remote workers can be handled with a 5:1 contention ratio - i.e. they can contend for (share) 10 tunnels.
Therefore, for this Trust to be able to satisfy its user demand it needs the capacity for 20 consecutive tunnels.
It may be that the remote users want to connect after the home workers have finished for the day. In this case their tunnels will be available to the remote users.
