mcrocker 0 #1 September 17, 2004 Hey everyone, www.skydivingmovies.com has been pumping 50mbps out through my network for the past 3 hours. I took the rate-limiting off the network a couple weeks ago and it has been running smooth until now. I just put the 3mbps rate-limit back into effect on the switch port. Your movie viewing will be affected. I don't have the time to check into the server to see what is going on. I'll look into it on Friday. For now, if you are having trouble getting your favorite movie it is probably because a couple hundred of your closest friends are doing the same thing I've attached the graph of the last 24 hours in usage. Green is data from the SDM server going to the Internet. 5.2MB/s = 41.6mbps roughly a full DS-3, (28 T1s, 30 times faster than a DSL line). The switch is reporting higher numbers (50mbps) 50mbps = $5000/month for me , 3mbps = $300/month. Donations are accepted (paypal to matthew@crocker.com) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Kbone 0 #2 September 17, 2004 that sucks! I don't know why some rich ass hasn't offered to host the site? $5000 a month is pocket change if you are wealthy!

We get our bandwidth in our data center (Equinix) as low as $49/mo/Mb for HE Direct Connect, and some of the other Tier1 backbones are a little higher. It changed month to month, but that's about the lowest price for adequate service. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mcrocker 0 #4 September 17, 2004 Quote3 Mbs =$300 ?? My God, man - you're getting raped!!

I also own a datacenter and I have to pay for the loops to bring the bandwidth into me. I actually pay somewhere around $60/mb but the DS-3 loops from Boston and NY bring the price up to $100/mb. $100/mb is also guaranteed bandwidth to the 'net it isn't overcommitted bandwidth like HE & Equinix. My T1 customers and other colo customers cost me $10/mb because I can over commit, they never use it all. SDM was actually using 50mbps on the network.

If you know of a rich skydiver that wants to pay me to host the site I would be more than happy to take their money. People are rich because they are smart with their money. $5k/month for something that generates $0 revenue isn't being smart with their money. I don't mind the $300/month or so, it gets lost in the shuffle of our network. SDM on a normal day fills up our excess bandwidth. When it spins out of control is when I have a problem.
