[AG-TECH] Qns on network

[Andrew Rowley]

Hi,

 

The normal recommended minimum bandwidth for AG is about 10Mbps (see
http://www.agsc.ja.net/faqs.php#Q4).

If your DSL link has less than this, you will probably experience problems
in meetings with more than one video stream.  A solution to this is to use
an rcBridge (see http://www.agsc.ja.net/services/rcbridge.php).  This will
allow you to select which streams are received by your site up to your
bandwidth limit.  However, this will also reduce your AG experience, as you
will not be able to view all participants at once.

Hi 

I am in the midst of setting up an Access Grid here using Dell 670MT servers


I have a question on the network requirements. 

Inorder to connect to multicast network at SingAREN, I am in the midst of
setting up a dedicated 1GB link from my site to the SingAREN. 
However this 1GB link will not be ready until late April.   

As an interim solution to connect to SingAREN Internet 2, my network people
here is coming up with a tunnel solution through the DSL network for the
period Mar and April. This is not a dedicated network. It will be something
like a WAN.   

Will this interim solution work for AG? Or will it become a serious
bottleneck? 

Please advise 

thanks 
wansin
