2009-12-01 18:56:58 - data traffic
Hi SOLs,

For choosing a mobile internet solution I need to know how much traffic I will produce.
Does anybody know how much traffic SOL occur in one hour?

Thanks - Stu

It depends alot on the map size and number of entrants I think. I have sometimes looked at usage, but not that often so dont take this too seriously, but i have noticed from 10-50Mb per hour. (download+upload)
How many currently chatting, will effect to, but only in extreme (none or 40, and how 'chatty' they are).
But alot of the data seems to be initial map and weather download, so only accessing SOL briefly to check your boat/put in some DCs, whatever, might not minimise your usage that much, unless you only doin it every few hours of course.
As example, I just opened the Sydney to Hobart, it took about 3Mb to download map, weather and tracks. (2.5Mb down/0.5Mb up) And this not a huge map?
Hope this helps...
I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

sorry for late reply, you're right. there's a lot of Mb just for SOL usage. I am thinking about mobile client - but sounds a bit expensive :-)

regards

Stu

Hi

i finished the current race SOR3 and Rabat - Alicante with mobile (EDGE, unfortunately i found no UMTS) access.
My report said that starting the game causes about 1-2 MB traffic. The race updates are small unless you don't get a weather update.

It was in those 2 races less than 10 MB per our - usually only 4-5 MB/h.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
