Resource and bw usage

Post by ardi »

What is the exact resource usage of shoutcast. The cpu usage from my understanding is close to zero, what about ram?

What about bw, including overhead and buffering, what is the percentage I should add over the actual bitrate?

thx :D

CPU and RAM usage is generally not a big concern as long as you have a fairly modern computer SHOUTcast will run fine for quite a few users.

check out www.radiotoolbox.com/online_tools/bandwidth.php and do some bandwidth calculations.

Jay about the ram. How much ram does one listener use? How much ram do I need to broadcast to 1000 listeners at 24 kbps?

Thanks for the bw calculator, does that calculate and include the overhead and buffering?

as I said PC resource usage is fairly insignificant.
