I'm Interested In Relaying

bgammill · Post by **bgammill** » Nov Sun 13, 2005 12:22 pm

I just got my internet upgraded to 6Mbit, and i'm barely on the computer these days. I can relay one of the streams. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of 10-20 users @ 96 Kbps.
Longest uptime of my computer was 4 weeks, but went down because of these Florida hurricanes.

If you're interested, please feel free to email me, bgammill@gmail.com

Also, i am transferring the stream to my domain name of http://eevilcheese.com
So after that happens, you can just connect to the domain.

also i know we have 128k stream and a 64k not sure if Sub really wants to ad a 96k stream.

I'll just do a 64k relay then.
Results -
«738 up
(Keep in mind that its the middle of the day here and my bandwidth has gone down significantly)
Also, i am trying to reason with my Webhost to get him t o host a relay.

I do not understand. Does relaying mean that you are in a sense re-broadcasting the station? Is SubSonicRadio a relay?

No Subsonicradio is not a relay way back when we didn't have the 128k channels and only had the 64k, 56k, and 24k channels we would set up smaller connections (like my own) which would allow the signal to be relayed to more users. I would host on my pc a connection that could add 5 more users. This was important when the 64k channel could only handle 30 users so my 5 more minus the 1 used on the server would bump us up to 34 more users. Set up 5 pcs like that it would spread the bandwidth all over.

That is how it was but SR has some huge pipes that now broadcast the station. So relaying isn't such a big deal anymore. But really all of the channels are coming from 1 pc and are being relayed into the correct stream. It is really cool and I think I may need a diagram to show how it is done.

Hope this has helped you in some way.
