			Audio streaming bandwidth usageIf I am posting an audio stream that I am streaming at 60kbps,and people can connect to my computer to listen to the stream, and 4 people connect to it, is my bandwidth usage still only 60kbps, or am I correct at assuming it would be 200kbps at this point?

			Re: Audio streaming bandwidth usageIP v6 could save you some bandwidth, but unfortunately this protocol is not widely supported yet. So for 4 users you will need 4 times more bandwidth than for a single one. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	You may buy a hosting that will be able to handle your bandwidth, install a free icecast streaming server and enjoy it. You may also broadcast with free p2p stream broadcasting software PeerCast. Of course peer2peer technology saves lots of bandwidth of a broadcaster using it. There are also proxy caching solutions, but they must be too expensive in your case.  |
