Yeah they want this to be a real streaming server if not both. I'm not really worried about the software end of it, that is totally a differnet department than me. I was just approached asking what the demand on bandwidth would be and what it would take to handle the load. Obviously we want &nbsp;to avoid from having the server to crash when it hits a certain limit. I really didn't have an answer so I was just seeing if anyone else has done this before who can give me some insight &nbsp;on what to expect and how much bandwidth would be needed (minimum - x users, medium - xusers, high end - x users) so I could pass some valuable information on. &nbsp;

My company is looking to expand the capability of our web server to provide live webcasting. They came to me asking what they would need to support it such as bandwidth and server load etc... Does anyone have a model or specs. on supporting online live streaming video. As for the amount of people that would be accessing it would vary so I kinda need an idea for supporting 20 users, 100 users, 1000 users... etc... Thanks

Live streaming demand

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.

Web Services

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
