Re: [cobalt-users] Streaming Media

[Nikolas Samios <ns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Richard,

a RaQ3 can definiftely do streaming media (Realmedia G2).

The question about the number of streams:

Well, let's put it this way - we are running one of the biggest
Streamingmedia-Server-Pools in Germany. On a Dual P-III 500 Mhz with 512 Mb of
Ram we can get about 1200 to 1500 Realmedia Streams with 42kpbs (ISDN).

So an a K-6 II with 300 Mhz (thats the CPU of your RaQ3) you maybe get up to
200 or 300 Streams with 42kbps. 128 Mb won't be the limit in this case.

But be careful, as we know from the RaQ2s, that when they are under heavy load
it is almost impossible to telnet in or use the admin-website, so you should
set a restrictive maximum number of streams in your Realserver settings.

Hope that helped!

Niko
