Re: Concurrent SliMP3s from one server

Robin,

A *lot*.

It's more a function of the total data rate you're serving than the number
of players. I recently ran a test with fifteen players connected to a
Netgear 10/100 16-port switch, with a PowerPC G4/400 as the server. You
can read the detailed report here:

Setting up a test with a larger number of players would be a bit of work,
as you can imagine. If we can get the emulator software finished, that
will give us the ability to easily test with a large number of simulated
players. Until then, we won't really know what the limit is, but it's safe
to say that a 1GHz+ machine could handle a couple hundred clients.
Nobody is currently using such a large number of players, but it would be
possible if an ISP or a housing complex wanted to deploy such a system.

If you're running linux, just run "top" to see how much CPU time the
server is using. It probably won't even show up on the list if you
just have a single client.
