The real thing here is the bandwidth - everything else is gravy. Assuming that a decent stream is about 50k, if you were to have 100 users listening simultaneously on a unicast connection, that would be a 5Mb/sec download, which would translate into about 8mb/sec bandwidth transfer rate at a minimum to support 100 sim. users, assuming a 65% max load on a line, to account for other network overhead.
It shouldn't be hard to find this kind of bandwidth, but I don't think we're going to find it in someone's house. Does HOF have the kind of bandwidth to share? Of course, we could try to set up a multicast server as an experiment to see how many people could connect to it. - MS -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 9:45 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: What are you listening to right now? Lord knows I've got the music (1.25 TB at last count). I LOVE Boston and the record shops with dollar bins. I unfortunately have Comcast cable as my internet connection, and I don't think I could host a shoutcast station (or a website). If anyone knows differently, I'd set it up in a heartbeat. I even have code I wrote as an NLM (Netware) that let's people vote on the next song to play (vote early and vote often), and build the cue from that. It would need to be converted to the web, but that should be a trivial task. > On 11/10/05, MS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It would be completely easy to set up a Windows Media Server if the > box, OS, > > bandwidth and music are available. > > From: Ray Champagne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Somebody should take ti upon themselves to start a shoutcast station > for > > HoF.
