More Important For Shoutcast Server? Bandwidth Or Port Speed?
Jun 28, 2008
I wonder whatLs more important on a shoutcast server, to get more bandwidth per month as possible, or a faster port connection?
I have test a 2 hours music stream at 128k bit rate and was only 5MB per listener !
This is not to host 24/7 radios. Its a project to host DJs /Live Bands at
a maximum of 128k, with no more than 2 hours events.
Also each event between 50-80 listeners, and not at same days or hours.
About the port connection, what this means? :
Port: 10/100MBPS SWITCHED VLAN
Is it shared and from 10 to 100mbps?
I am trying to find the best deal with dedi servers.
Have at this moment a unlimited bandwidth /100Mbps shared, but it seems the CPU is too low (AMD Sempron 3100), as I canLt seem to create more than 40 shoutcast accounts (and no client is streaming, just ON), and the server load goes up to 4.5 !!
So, I am looking on the market , as I saw better deals with better processors (Pentium4, Core 2 Duo), and much cheaper (below $100), but they only offer 2000/3000GB bandwidth.
Whats do you think?

I've got a CentOS 5 box that I want to cap/throttle the speed of the port to ensure that no more than 50 meg is passing in either direction at any given time.
- I know you can do this with FreeBSD using ipfw but that's not an option for me at the moment...
- I also know you can do this with some reasonably decent switching gear but again that's not an option. It's not my switch and they don't provide capped ports.
So, the question then becomes is there any way to lock the port down to 50 meg using only linux itself?

As per topic, what is the best method to do to the hardware to improve bandwidth / uplink speed of server?
I have a production server that is used for regular file serving.
P4 3.0Ghz
4GB RAM
500GB + 160GB + 160GB hard disk
2Mbps Dedicated + 10Mbps shared.
However, the most I can pulled through the whole server is always between 1.5Mbps - 3Mbps, anyway to pull the speed up to around 10Mbps should there be availability of bandwidth for me to burst?
For any informations, the hard disk is SATA 2.

I have come across many hosting providers recently who sell shoutcast servers with a set amount of bandwidth. e.g. their plan would be 100 slots, 128kbps with 100GB bandwidth/month.
I was wondering how they are able to monitor the bandwidth usage of a single shoutcast server and enforce a limit?

how to translate this into what would be needed in port speed to cover this server if converted to colo, in Mbps ? Is it 4.5?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The statistics were last updated Wednesday, 14 February 2007 at 10:50,
at which time 'XXXXXXXXX' had been up for 362 days, 17:47:15.
Last 30 days usage (Metered 95%): 4670.57 kb/sec
Last 30 days usage (Metered 95%): 1477797.53 MBytes
Total Utilization ( Last 30 days ): [In 637187 MBytes] [Out 65140 MBytes]
Max Speed: 12.5 MBytes/s
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, is there a real need to be on a burstable connection, or are flat rates OK most of the time? Just looking for the advantages and disadvantages of it.

I am moving into the world of dedicated servers (from VPS). I just got a server from Serveraday.com /OLM.net.
When I was doing bandwidth tests, I found the server's inbound speed was much slower than outbound. I tried downloading a bunch of different provider's 10MB test files from the command line of my server using wget. They were all around 20-30 Kbps.
When I take those same 10MB files and serve them from my dedicated box, the results are much different. My server can push the files out at over 1Mbps.
Why would my server be set up this way, and is this normal behaviour? I sent a ticket to OLM, but their support seems to take a long time. So I figured I would bounce the question off of all you here on WHT

My users frequently tell me that my website is slow, but it doesn't seem to be so, for me. Are there objective tools and criteria to test its speed (response time, max transfer etc)?
Also, I'm currently paying $1 for GB of transfer. How much does it usually costs?
Since my hosting company sets php_safe off, I'm considering changing it.Can you guys recommend me a hosting plan that has:
- ssh with vi etc: this is important
- A FAST server
- Norway-based (to enjoy .torrents without being bothered) or US Based (to enjoy "fair use", which seems to be exclusive to the USA)
- 1-3GB of space
- LOTS of transfer. I don't consume many gigabytes yet, but someday I will.
- Some kind of hacking protection. I'm damn scared of my website suffering a vampire attack and having to pay for the raeped bandwidth.

I have a Cisco 4006 with a 4013 Supervisor and a 4232-L3 and 3 x 4148-RJ modules.
When downloading data from ServerA on the switch to ServerB on
the switch the download speed is limited to about 650KB/sec.
ServerA -> ServerB = 650KB/sec.
ServerB -> ServerA = 11MB/sec.
So the problem is in one direction.
Each server has its own VLAN and a /29 IP block and both servers are physically connected to the 4006's 4148-RJ modules.
This seems to affect servers at random.
This issue disappears if I change the /29 IP block on the server experiencing the slow downloads while still using the same VLANs and ports to a /29 not experiencing this issue.
When I change the /29 to one that is not affected the switch is capable of full wire speed which is approximately 11MB/sec sustained. When I change back to the old /29 the downloads are limited to about 650KB/sec max.
I have tried the following:
changing VLANs
changing ports on the 4006
replaced CAT5 patch cords
replaced NICs in affected servers
replaced motherboards in affected servers
had multiple people examine the configs
and a few other crazy ideas yet the problem persists.
This problem affects only a few servers on the switch however I have a similar problem on a larger group of servers as well.
Several servers are limited to 650KB/sec downloads from very fast servers outside the network on the public internet.
For example:
LocalServerA on the 4006 with a /29 is downloading from RemoteServerA on the internet and is getting about 650KB/sec.
RemoteServerA -> RemoteServerA = 650KB/sec
LocalServerB on the 4006 with another /29 is downloading from RemoteServerA on the internet and is getting 3-8MB/sec sustained.
RemoteServerA -> LocalServerB = 3-8MB/sec
If I change the /29 on LocalServerA to a /29 which is unaffected by this issue the speed problem disappears while still using the same hardware, VLANs and physical ports.

i know 100/10 port can offer 100M max,
but i see a article say the performance of 100/10 port usually can not reach 100M,
if it can reach 50%,it is already very good.
because a user want to rent 50M bandwidth from me,
i worry if my switch may really reach 50M on the 100/10 port for him,
my firend ask me had better use a 1000/100/10 port for the case.
my switch is d-link des-3526.

It is possible to monitor bandwidth per IP instead of per port using Cacti?
I have been told no, but if no, how can you possibly monitor bandwidth per VPS on a host server?

we want to limit the speed on a switch for several users. For example, we want:
User Bandwidth
Adrian 1Mbps
Peter 5Mbps
Luke 4Mbps
Which switches do you recomend for this? Any experiences on their use? Prices?
i know that sounds strange, but imagine Adrian only has access to the net on 1Mbps because that's all he needs.

I am based in the UK and ideally I want my server based in the UK too. But the best host I've found so far seems to be American.
If most of my users are from the UK, then I don't want the latency to be too high. Or it so insignificant that I don't need to worry?
I was looking at [url] but if someone knows a similar deal in the UK I'd like to hear about it!

today i was asked if my server support ruby on the rail. The person said that the rail needs at least 256Mb of free RAM to run it. Is it true?
I checked my server memory by using TOP command and saw that it has less than 10MB of free RAM. My question: Where does it go? I got only 30 sites running and mostly are static site and No proxy.
what eats up memory? What ways can i use to free up my memory?

Me and a few friends of mine are planing on creating a Shoutcast online radio station and honestly I'm new to how Shoutcast servers work and witch host would be best for me and my friends. I have a few questions on all this.
Am I suck using Winamp to play our music over the server? Or are there other more professional tools to use?
This server will be used among a few friends of mine. So if no one us broadcasting will the server play a song play list till some one starts broadcasting?
Shoutcast servers only Stream music to Winamp players only?
Anyone here got any experience with “rackedhosting.com” Shoutcast service?

i upgraded my server a few month back to a better one.
SINGLE XEON QUAD CORE 3210 / 1066FSB / 8MB CACHE
4GB DDR2
x2 500GB SATA 7200RPM (RAID-1)
50 Mbps Burst Speed
for what ever reason when i try to tune in to my radio it takes more than 10 seconds for the radio to start playing (specially on my port 8000). while other stations (competition) start right away.
my question is does it matter if i have my dns like this: [url]:8000 instead of [url]:8000 or do i have to look for something else not well configure?

we have a server where we run sites and emails, but now we are going to buy a offsite email solution (based on ms exchange) in order to have our emails running when our web server is down.
But at the momment we run our own dns at our webserver using our own nameservers, in order that our emails keep working during a webserver downtime, we need to host our dns server at another location. So the offsite email company that is based in usa, said to us that they can host our dns at their datacenter in usa.
So i will have a configuration like this:
Webserver >> location: Spain
Mail Server >> location: USA
DNS Server >> location: USA
note: 99% of my website visitors came from Spain
So my question is:
Does it matters in terms of speed/performance having my dns server located in usa?
So in a simple way, will my website will it be fast with the dns located in spain, or having it in usa is exactly the same in terms of speed/performance?

I'm building a web app that will be both serving ads as well as recording things like impressions and clicks.
Obviously it will have a dedicated server (and will most likely quickly expand in to needing multiple servers) but I'm curious what specs are most important for this sort of thing.
Is processor speed more important? RAM? Hard drive speed?
It won't be heavy so much on the side of server full pages of data (like a normal website) as much as it will be heavy for display ads and recording visitor data.
