Re: streaming live shows

[Sony Felberg <sony@real.com>]

to calculate connections for the event its;

Total BW/encode rate = total connection

for example if you have 220 kbps out and encode at 20 kbps you can connect 
11 players. keep in mind network overhard. cap the servers BW at -20% of 
total.
