Is 40 Mbps TOO MUCH bandwidth for 3 paysites? - GoFuckYourself.com

Is 40 Mbps TOO MUCH bandwidth for 3 paysites? We won't be serving galleries from them. Will just host the member movies and the sites themselves and a few smaple movies on the paysites.

The 3 sites will get a combined TOTAL of 50K uniques per day.

Is 40 Mbps too much bandwidth? If so, how much will we need.

After Shock Media · 04-13-2005, 03:45 PM

is it 3 or is it 5?

I am guessing that 50k is to the tours? Or do you have 50,000 unique member visits a day?

Are your movies streamed or downloaded?

PbG · 04-13-2005, 04:07 PM

Off the cuff I would say YES! However in addition to the questions we need to know much data is involved?? How much diskspace do the three sites consume?

Just be on a burstable line.. don't order something you don't know if you need or not; it takes 30 seconds for your hosting company to upgrade you.

yea thats way too much if you are just starting out 10mbps should do fine to start

TheDoc · 04-13-2005, 04:13 PM

If it's 50k tour traffic, and lets say 50 joins a day.. Unless you have a nice size member base that's a bit of BW.. Again depending on the member base, I would say 20-30mbps would be about right.

Yes, 50K is to the tours. Movies are downloaded.

Yes it is too much unless your trailers are very big

Overkill I would say at 40. I would be looking into the 10 to 20 range that is burstable if needed.

For the tour you should calculate like this:

3/4 of the tour graphics + 1 trailer, on average per visitor. With 1 MB trailers that would be close to 1.5 MB per visitor = ~7-8 mbps average (actual) usage for 50k visitors. With 95th percentile calculation it'd be ~12-15 mbps (roughly twice the actual usage)

pxxx · 04-13-2005, 04:31 PM

That is a bit much, but like everyone mentioned, there are other stuff involved. Well calculated Http.

It's enough to stream the videos of your ferrari.

chaze · 04-13-2005, 04:44 PM

That will hold about 2,000 monthly members in an average paysites members area.Of course I assumne that you have site snagging and password sharring off.

d00t · 04-13-2005, 05:14 PM

50k unique visitors to paysite frontends, using 40mbs is way too much
my MGP galleries dont even suck that much BW with the same traffic ratio.

LeDeN · 04-13-2005, 06:03 PM

~15 gb definitely will be enougth
