The
streams provided here are using Swarmcast
technology in order to provide a more efficient
use of bandwidth. This is implemented by
modifying your URL to include swarmcast.
You can also
add multiple links in one URL. By doing this
your file will be mirrored and thus
provide
the
end user with a single click, while offering
the content provider scalability of multiple
servers.
For
example, when running tests with just two
servers, swarmcast downloaded 10X faster
than with a traditional single server download.
This number will change with the load presented
to the server. However, as you add more mirrors,
Swarmcast keeps working to provide high bandwidth
streams.
In
the future, we will also be implementing Swarmcast's
peer to peer features. Please stay tuned...! |
