Checking For Streaming Capabilities [traceout, Ping, Speed Test]
May 8, 2009
We have a dedicated streaming server with Leaseweb in Netherlands that we use primarily to stream video content to North American clients. This server only utilize 75 to 80% of it's allowed bandwidth capacity. However, some clients have buffering issues with the live content.
When we talk to Leaseweb they have asked us to provide traceroute between server and client. Can some one please explain to me what below traceroute means in terms of streaming?
We usually ask clients to do a speedtest to Netherlands. Most of the time their speeds are ok. I am hoping some one with streaming experience can advice me so I can ask Leaseweb for help.
i think 216.245.208.x and 216.245.215.x DOWN, but limestonenetworks tell me :"problems well outside of our network, and I would highly suggest contacting your ISP for support on this matter" ....
I recently setup WAMP on my dedicated, and I'm unsure if the slow download speed is from WAMP or something else I need to remove from the dedicated. Might just be the distance I am from the dedicated because it's hitting 88.74Mb/s down and 71.19Mb/s up from a local city.
I ordered my first vps and uploaded a 1 page web site with a few graphics. I browsed to the web site and it took longer than normal to load the entire site with all graphics.
Is there a way that I can test my vps account speed?
I've tried googling, searching on webhosting talk for 100meg test file, speed test for linux server, ect.. ect.. ect.. and I cant seem to find a damn thing.
Anyone have a recommendation for a place to download a 100mb test file to test out my speed? I'm looking for a server on a gig line.
i have decided to try out easyvps hosting service but firs i would like to know it's ping and speed around the world before taking it in serious consideration.
Anyone got a 100mbit server at corenetworks that I could speed test from? The test file that I got from corenetworks was only able to give me about 500KB/sec so I think their server might only be 10mbit.
I have just gotten a new server and the ping results were pretty fine. However, when it comes to the download speed its horrible. What could be the issue?
I am in Europe, and during this week I´ve been doing some speed tests with the files most providers have on their website or they gave me the link here.
I am using a DSL 25Mpbs net connection for the tests.
I was just wondering what a raq3 (running rackstar software) mysql php4 etc etc would be capable of hosting... were looking at hosting two forums on it, and dunno if its worth it or not
right now it has a 300 mhz amd k6-2 processor and 512 meg of ram...
the one forum currently has 150 active members (usualy about 20 online at peak times) and the other forum has about 3000 members and about 50 online at a time
I've been shopping for routers, and I'm curious as to the capabilities of a Cisco 7206 VXR Router. Would an NPE-300 or NPE-400 be capable of running three BGP sessions for 100 Mbps? At what point would it start topping out bandwidth wise? How much RAM would be recommended? Is a PE-GE good enough for the connections that are delivered by gigabit ethernet?
I realize that some of you may be inclined to recommend talking to a network consultant, but at this stage that's probably premature. I'm in a planning stage at this point.
I am having some serious speed issues with my 1Gbit server at FDC. After opening a ticket, they've simply dismissed it as a server configuration problem. However I am convinced it isn't because certain ISP's (usually universities) get good speeds, usually 700kb/sec but the vast majority of my users get between 20-50 kb/sec and it's causing a lot of complaints.
Furthermore I have other servers with FDC which are 100mbit which perform better than my 1 Gbit one. There are no server bottlenecks (CPU/RAM/HDD), since I've closely monitored them (PRTG) and they aren't even heavily utilised. So the problem is with the network at some point.

where abouts you are downloading from, your ISP and net connection. Wget's from servers are also welcome as are traceroutes.
