Whats the bandwidth necessary for running 123 flash chat server software?
123flashchat uses much less bandwidth than ordinary chat softwares because it’s based on TCP socket communication, instead of refresh technology. The bandwidth required by the chat server depends on the number of concurrent chatters and the frequency of chatting. ex: for 20 people in one room and 1 message sent by one of the users every 10 second, if the average size of messages is 100 bytes, then the server needs a bandwidth of (20 messages sent to users every 10 seconds)*100 bytes/10 s *8 = 1.6 k bps. That means if you have about 20 people chat a lot in your chat room, Bandwidth per day: 86400 x 1.6 k =135M Bandwidth per month: 135 X30 =4.05G You can see usually you don’t have to worry about bandwidth with 123 Flash Chat.
