• Flash Communication Server and Bandwidth

  Lots of discussion this weekend on the costs associated with the bandwidth required with some uses of the Flash Communication Server.

  • Flash Comm Server and Bandwidth Costs…
  • John Dowdell’s comments
  • Would you like bandwidth with that Flash Communication Server?
  • Round 2: Flash Communication Server v. The Socket Servers
  • Flashcom and the Dedicated Bandwidth Option
  • Total Cost of Flash Comm Server
  • Flashcomm Bandwidth Explained

  Unfortunately, broad conclusions are being drawn on Bandwidth requirements based on very specific scenarios (i.e. streaming video 24 hours a day).

• Help me test my Flash Communication Server App Part 2

  Here is the link to the application test that I am running today:
  Thanks to everyone who helped with the test. We ended up with a max of 44 users. I apologize to everyone who could not join. The Flash Com server i was serving from has a 2 mb / s limit, and we ran into that. We will be doing some more tests in the future, with a higher bandwidth limit on the server.
