[pp.int.general] Help with broadcasting

[Chr1s Shea7s]

I'm not so sure this is the solution you're looking for. You probably
want to look into peercasting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peercasting

From: http://mumble.sourceforge.net/Commercial_Hosting#Murmur_technical_requirements

"Mumble uses CELT, and using the highest quality and lowest latency,
the peak bandwidth is 134kbit/s per speaker per listener (with IP and
UDP overhead). However, this is the max bandwidth, and the recommended
bandwidth (that has a very unnoticeable quality reduction for normal
speech) is 63kbit/s. In other words, a server with 10 users and 1 user
speaking will need to replicate the datastream 9 times, for a total of
63*9=567kbit/s outgoing bandwidth. If all 10 users speak at once, each
stream has to be replicated 9 times, for a total of 63kbit/s*9*10=5.67
Mbit/s. Note that these are absolute worst-case scenarios, and the
average bandwidth use is around 20-30 kbit/s during speech, multiplied
by the number of listeners; it is only possibly in a real world
scenario for at most two people to be talking at the same time and
still understand what they are saying."

63*100=6300kbit/s outgoing bandwidth (worst case scenario)
If this is correct, you would need an upstream of 787.5 Mbit/s

30*100=3000kbit/s, average, which is still 375Mbit/s of upload bandwidth.

Maybe you could buy one month of service here: mumblevoice.com (for
100, 150, or 200 users). I've never used this service.

Good luck
