Hub on Home Connection

Post by NTak » 2006-08-22 22:37

I'm interested in setting up a private hub on a home connection (which I will also be sharing on) for about 5-20 users. The upload on the home connection will be 768 kbps.

I see the hardware requirements state: "Minimum, you need 128 kbps upload dedicated to a hub...You can safely host 100 - 200 users with any hub software on a dedicated 128 kbps upload." So, would it be safe to assume that since my hub will be catering to a much smaller amount of users, the upload on my home connection will be sufficient?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. 768kb should easily cater for the number of users you want.

With 5-20 users, you could probably use cups and a string as your internet connection. ;)

lol :P

you can also choose any hubsoft you like cause bandwidth usage is absolutely no issue here ^^

try:

for a simple out of the box hubsoft
or
http://www.ptokax.org/downloads.html
for a little bit more advanced but still very nice hubsoft, plus it supports scripting

Oh, I'm afraid I misunderstood the hardware requirements. I guess the 128 kbps in the requirements were kilobits per second, not kilobytes. Whoops. :lol:

Just so I have an idea, how many people could a hub on a 768 kbps and a 2 Mbps connection support?

Depends a bit on how you set it up, but several hundred atleast.

The rough estimate is (upload speed in kilobits) = (users/20)^2... so about 500-ish
