Have you ever been watching something on the server when it suddenly needs to buffer for what seems like a lifetime? Many connection issues in general are of course my problem and on my side. One of the larger ones I’ve ignored until now has been traffic scheduling which basically means I limit the traffic flowing in and out of my system where the server resides during what I can best guess to be “peak usage time” which is from 7AM to 12AM EST. During these hours I try to keep my personal network useage to a minimum in order to give priority and breathing room to users watching media on the server.
Today I successfully implemented scheduling on all bandwidth intensive applications meaning you SHOULD receive crystal clear video and audio without much buffering during the above listed times.
Other side of the coin is obviously that if you’re a night owl then you might be in some trouble. It depends on if I’m acquiring new data for the server and how intensely I am doing so.
Lets see how this goes for a while. Please feel free to contact me regarding this and I’m sure we can get things worked out.
