No software program can tell the exact amount of time that someone spendsactually viewing a particular site once it is open. One person might open a site, view itfor a few seconds, and then take a business call before requesting another site.Someone else might spend several minutes reading each site in detail before movingon to the next one.Websense software includes a Log Database job to calculate IBT, using a formulabased on certain configurable values. This job runs once a day, so browse timeinformation can lag the actual log data. See Database jobs, page 419, for moreinformation.For browse time calculations, an Internet session begins when a user opens a browser.It continues as long as that user requests additional Web sites at least every 3 minutes.(This default read time threshold is configurable. See Configuring Internet browsetime options, page 426.)The Internet session ends when more than 3 minutes pass before the user requestsanother site. Websense software calculates the total time of the session, starting withthe time of the first request and ending 3 minutes after the last request.134 Websense Web Security Solutions
