Folks, I very interesting project just landed in my lap -- I need to setup a FreeBSD server to be a streaming media server for 1000+ clients using Nullsoft's Shoutcast. I have some experience with streaming media, so I know how to size the network side of the equation, but what I'm really at a loss for is how much processing power a server will need to do this effectively, and better yet, how to properly tune the FreeBSD machine to handle that many simultaneous clients. If anyone has any experience with this sort of thing, or has any advice, please contact me directly. Thanks, -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
