Re: FLASH: Any good Flash 3 books??

I know what you mean Ken...

If you don't know much about ISP's and/or  Servers I would suggest you stick around for

this conversation. The different "lines" mentions below and in my earlier E-Mail are

different Bandwidth lines. OC-0 being the slowest and from that scale up you go in range

from 65KBPS (thousand bits per second) up to 622MBPS (million bits per second). All make a

big difference in the way your site acts to higher traffic.

    This is in a way related to Flash I will get to this in a minute. With a single OC-0

you will be pushing your system and connection with just two users on a 28.8 modem. So

say, you have a 100kb Flash movie that is downloading. It will be bottle necked from that

connection of a single OC-0. * Bottle necking refers to the connection becoming bogged

down boy thru-put (sending and receiving information).* But with just a single T-1 you

will have a bandwidth of 1.45MBPS, but this is still not enough, because we have so many

users on Cable modems and office users, ISP companies and such on T-1's and Greater

connection to the internet with these speeds. And with all this potential accessing your

file('s) your server will need a greater speed of connection to keep up. To go in to more

detail this is what the lines (I know of) are capable of transferring.

T-1 is a 1.4MPBS

T-3 is a 5MBPS

OC-1 is a 1.2MBPS

OC-3 is a 155MPBS

OC-12 is a 622 Mbps

(this is just a short list of the many lines out there)


I hope this helps anybody looking in to renting server space anytime soon. If you are drop

me a line and I can recommend to you a few servers I have used.


(sorry for the length of this, but I felt it necessary to inform this issue)
