While we're talking about it...I've always wondered this...
If you buy an unmetered 300 mbps line...can a single server even keep up with that demand? I always figured the average server, even if pimped out, couldn't. If that's the case, why do they even "sell" it? Or are you really just buying the increased memory, etc. and they promote such a big pipe to make it look like a better deal?
Or how about this...
Say I get a server with 2.33 Ghz Core2Quad, 4 GB memory, 2x500 GB SATA2, 100 MBPS unmetered on 1000 MPBS / GigE Port ... and I am running a "legal tube" (meaning sponsor clips of 2-5 minutes) ... how many concurrent surfers that are actively watching videos could I have at a time without the server crapping out?
Oh, and if it means anything, the vids would be hosted on the server, not by the sponsor.
I am asking for rough numbers ... I know it's not an exact science ... like if you're running a typical tube site, how many concurrent surfers could be on there at most times before you'd throw up a second box?
OneClick guys...?
I've been wondering for quite awhile...because everybody talks about what a bandwidth hog huge tubes are...
