Dear Shyam,
The server routes all your client through proxy and hence the b.w
is shared amongs all the users, and I think it will affect the speed
naturally. No. of concurrent session will have to be checked, i.e
if you give 100 user but no. of them using internet are few than
you may not find much difference. More over, it has tobbe acertain
what internet services they are using in case of www and ftp the
data transfer is heavy while for email it is less so the b.w will
be shared accordingly. You can do hard disk caching to increase
the speed.
