Bandwidth needs for 4DAF site.

Hi,

This will be my first internet website. I do not really have any idea on
what kind of speed I need from my ISP to host it. I have about 25 users
expecting maybe 5 concurrent users.

Should It be on a dedicated line? Currently have 1.5Mbs down 384kbp up. Can
go up to 4Mbs down 768kbs up. Lousy I know but, I'm in a small town in
Oklahoma.

Thanks for suggestions.
Chase

RE: Bandwidth needs for 4DAF site.

Chase,

So much depends on the application and how it was developed, and then on how
the users interact with it and their responsiveness requirements.

The simple approach is to try several users connecting at the same time
doing normal functions and time responsiveness.

Then test a burst of activity using the through-put to get a real-life feel
for the where the bottle-neck occurs.

This will help you tweak the application or adjust your line speed...

Re: Bandwidth needs for 4DAF site.

Chase,

The more the better in my opinion. Obviously the upload speed is the  
key as that is essentially what your server will be doing when  
responding to requests....also as your app evolves you want to ensure  
there is enough bandwidth up front.

Saying that a lot of the speed issues depend on the speed on the  
server, the complexity of the searches etc. The key is to reduce the  
amount of data sent back down the line....for example images you  
should resize images yourself and not just let the browser do it.  
There is plenty of info out there on how to optimise your web site.

HTHs.

Regards, Michael.

One thing you can do is put all your static content (javascript,
including the 4daf .js files, css, images) up on an external ISP. That
way, all you're pushing up your pipe is actual data coming out of your
database.

Re: Bandwidth needs for 4DAF site.

Thanks for the help guys. One thing I failed to mention is that I'm using
the built in client portal, for now that is. I don't have a lot of option on
optimizing the site because, of that. I was just checking if my available
speeds were laughable.

Thanks,
Chase
