This is an extremely wide ranging question and it is impossible to say. A few rough guidelines though for a class set (20) Raspberry Pis would be.

This is an extremely wide ranging question and it is impossible to say. A few rough guidelines though for a class set (20) Raspberry Pis can be found below. They are split into Dedicated (if running PiNet on a dedicated machine directly on the hardware) or Virtualisation (if running PiNet/Ubuntu in a virtual machine on top of Windows/Mac OS/Linux).

For anything greater than 100 Raspberry Pis, it would be recommended to look into port trunking or 10gbit/s core networking.
