Re: Netflix CDN Server I'm interested to see how it turns out for you.
From their documentation: -- Appliance Fill For the US Netflix catalog, a fill rate of approximately 5 Gbps for approximately 2 hours (or equivalent) is currently required. A lower speed link will require a longer fill window. When multiple appliances are present in a single location, appliances can fill from one another, reducing the upstream network load. An appliance updates its cached content nightly with the appropriate content.
The exact time window is determined for each appliance during the planning process, and is generally chosen by the ISP as an off-peak period, such as early morning hours in the local time zone. -- -- I survived Hale-Bopp! |

So doing a little quick math means that even if you spread it out over 10 hours, that's still a full gigabit for that 10 hour period. Or if you had it update constantly, it would be a non-stop stream of around 415 mbps. |
