TOPIC

    This article describes the number of simultaneous streams RealAudio supports on Apple Internet Software Solution server computers.


DISCUSSION

    The RealAudio software which shipped with the Apple Internet Software Solution has a 5 user license. The following are excerpts from the Administration Guide that come with the product:

    Streams
    The RealAudio Server and the accompanying encoding application enable you to create and deliver RealAudio content. The number of simultaneous users who can listen to content sent from your server at any given time is referred to as the "number of streams." The number of streams a server can deliver depends upon three factors: the type of RealAudio Server you have, the power of your Server computer, and the bandwidth between your Server and the Internet (each audio stream requires 10 KB per second of network bandwidth).

    The maximum number of simultaneous audio connections your server can support is five. This entry allows you to set a limit less than or equal to this number. To specify a different value, enter it into the Audio field. The maximum number of connections cannot usefully exceed the maximum number that the bandwidth of your Internet connection will support.
