It's also doing Alternate Queueing, which means bandwidth management so that

The pictures of the 3 Webcams and the MP3 stream (from streaming.vcfe.org) will be uploaded to this machine.
The homepage is being hosted here and it provides the bandwidth for all you clients.
The 56 KBit/s stream arrives here, and this computer provides the stream to all the other machines in the internet, who want to listen to the stream.
Thanks again to Jochen Kunz from Mobotix GmbH who made all this possible. |
