Let's say we have avatar A and avatar B. Avatar A is throttled to 4% of the spare bandwidth of a sim, and avatar B has a nice fast pipe and us capable of using 40% of the spare bandwidth of the sim. Avatar A arrives, and slows everyone down by 4% for 10 minutes. Nobody notices. Even if half a dozen such avatars arrive, nobody cares. Avatar B arrives, and slows everyone down by 40% for 1 minute. If you have multiple such avatars arriving at the same time, you'll have a pretty sick sim. Avatar B is using a disproportional amount of the available bandwidth. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
