There would be no cost issue though, i dont really know how an &quot;Internet bill&quot; works for a corporate environment, or as to whether the radio streaming includes much data and this has a knock on effect on end cost?<br />
<br />
Any rough guides on how much data 30 mins video compared to 30 mins radio is downloaded ?
</div>


<div>
Or by blocked port 8080 would you notice any financial benefits :)
</div>


<div>
Hello!<br />
<br />
No there won't be any costs if your internet has no bandwidth limit, but if it has bandwidth limit then there will be a problem. <br />
Here's a little calculation:<br />
<i>128 kbps with 100 listeners for 1 Hour (3600 seconds).<br />
<br />
5.49 GB<br />
5625.00 MB</i>
</div>


<div>
Thanks<br />
<br />
Is it common for corporate environments to have bandwidth limits? Or rare? <br />
<br />
<br />
Re 1/1 or 10/10 network speed - whats common in corporate environments? Is there a more technical name for the network speed? <br />
<br />
Is the 128 kbps a default speed for streaming radio?
</div>


<div>
Hello!<br />
<br />
Its common to have no bandwidth limit on corporate environments. I would say it would be 10/10 or even 100/100 network speed as in full-flat without any bandwidth limit and yes 128 is the most used speed for streaming radio.
</div>


<div>
Re 10/10 or 100/100 - what is that representing, is there a technical term for the speed?<br />
<br />
How do &quot;network speed&quot; and &quot;bandwidth&quot; link together (excuse my ignornance)...
</div>


<div>
Why would a network be 1/1, 10/10 or 100/100 - is it cost?
</div>


<div>
Hello!<br />
<br />
1/1 means its 1mb up and 1mb down link speed and yes the cost is the main point of the link speed. 100 mb link speed costs way more than 1 mb speed. Network speed and bandwidth limit link together by the ISP that's renting you the network speed. Bandwidth is limited to GB monthly download and upload if that goes maximum your link speed will be decreased to a certain speed (not sure what speed each ISP has diffrent speed for that usually its 10mb down and 512kb up).
</div>


<div>
Ok thanks:<br />
<br />
&gt;&gt;1mb up and 1mb down link <br />
<br />
What type of user activity affects up or down? I.e. user X does this its using UP and user X does this its using DOWN?
</div>


<div>
Upload speed is affected by people who upload files to internet like videos to youtube or files to servers what are not in your local area network. Download speed is affected if a person downloads a file from a server thats not located in your Local area network or who listens to a radio from the internet.
</div>


<div>
Cheers, so if I go to an IT section and ask what we use (re 10/10, 100/100 etc) what exactly am I asking them, and how will they find out, am I asking for network speed, or is there a more specific term we should be asking ? <br />
<br />
If say you have 200 users, is the 100/100 speed shared between them, or is it 100/100 for each user, so if one user is uploading like mad, or downloading like mad, are they consuming the 100/100 from other users?
</div>


<div>
You are asking them for the network speed. The 200 users will be sharing the network speed and yes they will be consuming the network speed from the other users as well if they upload and download like mad persons. You should ask your IT personal to turn off Peer 2 Peer networking (torrents) so your workers won't take away 75% of your network speed when they are downloading via Peer 2 Peer. Your IT personal should know what to turn off to keep the network speed as stable as possible. :)
</div>


<div>
So if it was 10/10 network speed how many radio/video streamers would it take to take up all of that speed? Or perhaps 50% of it?
</div>


<div>
A lot of them. Radio is not a big issue if you have 10/10 speed. It doesn't take up that much at all.

Our workforce seems to think its ok to stream the radio via their PC’s at work. The web filter doesn’t block them doing this. It is perceived as a no risk issue but I just wanted to double check any potential issues and perhaps cost implications on allowing this. Can anyone explain any risks/issues (no matter how far fetched) in allowing users to abuse the Internet to stream radio from their PC, could their be any adverse affects if say 200 people each day were doing so, or are we being a bit petty in that it’s a no risk issue? You’ll have to keep your answers management friendly. I am more after the technical issues/risks than the “they shouldn’t listen to the radio when they should be working” type issues.

Streaming media and issues

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.
