Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ).

20 Gbit Network Is Not Enough For The Web Server (alien.top)

Hi.

I was trying to find a way to prevent server crash every time I do a streaming.

Basically I have a popular movie website and every time I release an episode I get minimum 30k live viewers and whenever I pass 8k live viewers, 20gbit bandwidth becomes useless. I tried to put 5mbps bandwidth limit occasionally to prevent server crash but it didn’t do much. And I don’t want to rent 100 gbit network bandwidth every time I release an episode. So my question is, is there a way to deal with 30 to 60k live viewers only by using 20 gbit network or I just need to rent 100 gbit network occasionally?

Thank you!

50000 users at 20gb is 400kbit per second per second? That ain't gonna cut it even for potato quality. The recommended bit rate for 480p is 5 times higher the recommended bit rate for 720 ten times higher. So you maxing out at 5k users makes sense.

Now I am astonished a single server can service 5000 streams at rge same time. That's some scalable server software.
