Keep in mind Squeezenetwork runs several hundred clients on each server PC - I don't have the number off the top of my head but I think it's over a thousand. This is almost entirely the same code base as SlimServer - the core performance considerations needed to make this work are already present in SlimServer.
Serving throughput is the first concern, but this should be relatively simple to alleviate. Searching and building huge playlists is the other concern - to alleviate those you'd need to either load balance to multiple processes or disable searching perhaps. I'm not worried at all about ethernet throughput. A gigabit port would be good for thousands of clients. At any rate we won't know for sure until you start building it, but it is definitely possible. These are the most likely bottlenecks though. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18098 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
