[mapguide-users] MGOS server harware & bandwidth

[Trevor Wekel]

Hi Jorge,

 

I have tried using MGOS over a 1Mbit "home" connection.  Personally, I
think it is too slow and the user experience is disappointing.  I would
suggest starting at 10Mbit/s.  If you are using tiled maps, a single CPU
can serve between 50 and 200 tiles per second.  Assuming each tile is
10kbytes, the burst traffic rates will be between 5Mbit/sec and
20Mbit/sec.  

 

Just as a side note, under "lab" conditions with a quad core Intel Core
2 box I have been able to saturate a 100Mbit/s Ethernet line using
pre-generated tiles. 

 

MapGuide interactivity is quite dependant on burst rates.  From what I
have heard, "unmetered" bandwidth plans are often oversubscribed.  Even
you have a 10Mbit plan, you may never be able to obtain that rate if
there are a 100 other sites sharing the same pipe.  If you are looking
to host somewhere, ask your ISP what you can realistically expect as a
burst rate. 

 

  

Thanks,

Trevor

Hi list

 

I would like to know what kind of hardware are you using as server and
the bandwith recomended.

Just to have an idea...
