Don't forget that the data speed != line speed. A line will only carry about 70% of the line speed as data because of packet overheads.

Ok this is kind of a goofy question but I want to make sure I get it right. Suppose we have a 25 mb video, that is 117 seconds long. If we wish for this streaming video to play smoothly with no compression, buffering or skipping, the following bandwidth requirements must be met:
25 megabytes = 204800 kilobits.
204800 kb / 117 seconds ~ 1750kb/s
Does that look right to you? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
