[OSM-dev] TileUsagePolicy 'Heavy users' ?

2011-03-20 Thread Matthias Meißer

Hi,

somebody asked me what heavy user is about. I guess we all would agree 
that NY Times would be a heavy user, but is there some number say, ~100 
concurrent endusers for a webpage that embedds OSM?


regards
Matthias

No, there is *deliberately* no number, because if we say that X 
concurrent users is heavy, then someone will run (X-1) concurrent users 
and claim he's abiding by the rules.


I think you can turn it around and say: If your traffic is not 
noticeable then you are not a heavy user. Look at the munin graphs and 
make a guess what noticeable means ;)


Bye
Frederik

Hi Frederik,

hehe this is what I expected :) Well my personal oppinion was always 
that a company offering a product using OSM should be able to setup/rent 
an own server.


The hint to the munin statistics is quite good, I will add it to the 
page. Thanks!
