What is the acceptable level of latency for video streaming on internet?
368177
If the computer buffers enough so playback is nonstop, the latency can be long and nobody will care.  What sucks is when the buffer runs out so the picture or sound skips.  That can be less than a second long and still be annoying.  I bet if varies quite a bit from person to person.

At a 128kb/s bitrate, probably around 30.

1.5 mb (megabytes) downstream and 384 kb (kilobytes) upstream is ok for "lite" DSL internet cable service...and I wouldn't pay more than $25 a month for that level. Consider that dial-up Internet is LOWER than 56 kb. Yuck! I'm cruising at 6 mb downstream, but I pay about $45 a month for it. It flies!

torrents would have been my best answer. it doesnt slow me down\n\nNOTE: if you are using a router maybe you should do port forwarding so its not so slow

you need plenty of "ram" and a good quality video card.....i'm not sure that there is much software-wise that will help beyond those basic guts of your computer! plus....i assume you have cable or some type of highspeed connection.

The easiest way to check wan latency, is to ping the remote server, and look at the Response Times.\n\nThere is no such thing as a default latency, as latency will vary depending on connection speeds, and traffic. Basically, anything less than about 140ms (milli-seconds) is generally ok for a high speed connection, like cable, DSL, T1, etc. You really want it to be as low as possible. Dial-up connections can have significantly higher latencies. If you start seeing latencies steadily higher than that then there is a problem. It could be a bad WAN circuit, or it could be too much usage on the WAN connection. You will need to investigate more to see.\n\nLatency can cause DB SLOW RESPONSE errors, but it could be other things as well. It could be a slow computer, it could be a slow server. If your latency is pretty low, you should check the server to make sure it's not overloaded.\n\nHope this helps.\nCheers :)

Sorry to tell you this, but there's absolutely NO WAY to get around the IT department's proxy servers (the "gatekeepers" of the network) as they'll prevent access to the ports required for streaming AV streams.\n\nThe only place that you MAY sneak by the IT department temporarily (as the IT department will eventually catch onto it) would be Pandora ( http://www.pandora.com ) as it streams its audio through Flash.\n\nEven if you take the lowest possible bitrate for broadcasting (24 KBps), here's how the math would come out:\n\n24 KBps * 3600 sec/hr * 8 hrs = 691,200 KB (691.2 MB) / workday \n\n691.2 MB / workday * 7 days/wk = 4838.4 MB (4.8384 GB) / wk\n\n4.8384 GB / wk * 4 weeks / mo = 19.3536 / mo.\n\nConsidering Bandwidth costs $2/GB/mo (high-end), it would cost $38.71 / mo in Bandwidth.  You also need to be aware that streaming audio & video constantly requires the a chunk of available bandwidth to use.  If your download bandwidth is 700 KBps & the stream you're listen/viewing is 100 KBps, that leaves 600 KBps for everybody on the same connection.\n\nIf you multiply the bandwidth requirements over multiple users, it will eventually squeeze the available bandwidth & slow down the speed of others.  For example, if you have 10 users on 700 KBps  connection & 5 of them are viewing/listening to a 96 KBps audio/video stream.  That leaves only 200 KBps available for the other activities.  So if everybody is downloading a file at the same time while the streams are active, the downloading speed on that file would average around 20 KBps instead of around 70 KBps.\n\nI know that my examples are in a Micro-network (10 users or less), but in a large-scale network...  this could spell massive problems, especially if somebody is telecommuting as their upload speed is affected by the download speed of the server/network they're connecting to.\n\nWhy don't you burn an CD full of MP3's (or an audio format you prefer) & play music off of that?

1. Yes, 3mbps is enough!\n2. Try it and you'll see\n3. Go for FCI

Switch to Cable.\n\nCable downloads for me about at 8,000kbit/sec\n\nDSL  756kbit/sec\n\n\nOther than that make sure you are spyware and adware free\n\nwww.lavasoft.de is a good program to make sure of that

Ok, Here is the deal, The OS(Operating system) like windows or Mac has very little to do anything with how fast you can send or receive files. It all depends on the internet service provider and the plan that you have chosen (Bell South, Comcast, SBC, etc). There are different speeds provided for both uploading(sending) and downloading (receiving) anyfiles. If you call your provider and ask for those details, they will be able to provide you with the information. The reason why video download is slow is simply because those are huge files to download. Hope this information helps

Use Ethereal.com software to monitor RTCP and RTP packets.\nSee STATISTICS, RTP ANALYSIS which shows jitter.

6.63Gbps equivilant to transfering about 2 DVD's online per seconds by a team of researchers....and I'm running on 256K what a pity.

An 11Mbps Ethernet bridge is enough.  That is quite fast :).

I have 30 Mbit/sec FIOS, but I actually can get faster: http://img82.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nonwirelesstestmyspeedsdlsmall.jpg  The problem is that hardly any site will give me that kind of bandwidth.  I still only average 300-1000 KB/sec, when downloading files.  \n\nOh, and the answer to your question is that you're getting what you're paying for.  Pay a bit more, and you'll get ALOT more bandwidth.  For instance: http://www.fiberexperts.com/
