bandwidth requirements for client?

Postby Neale » Thu Jul 08, 2004 7:22 am

Is there any data/estimates/guidelines available regarding the bandwidth required by Servoy Client?

i.e. how do we determine a "reasonable" bandwidth to provide for a remote office to run Servoy Client (yes, via a VPN ;-)?

Thanks,
Neale.

it is doable of a 64kbit line.
Better is something above that (128+)
But also you guys can help with this youreself, because things that will be slow are lists (list or tableview) with a lot of related data besides them.

If you design the solution just keep in mind that you want it to work of a slow line, So becarefull with relations because those are the things what generates queries.

OK, sounds like 128kb/s+ is desirable for client operations and modem dialup isn't really practical, dependant on solution design etc. Any traps in assuming that the back-channel requirement is significantly less than this (think ADSL with say 64k upload)?

For client startup, how do we estimate the volume of data to be transfered, both for a complete cold start and for an updated solution?

Lastly, is this is via HTTP? If so, presumably a remote office with 2-3+ users could gain an advantage by using a local HTTP caching proxy(e.g. squid)?

Thanks,
Neale.

backend is not importand. then 64k is more then enough. Because the factor of data comming from you is much much more then what you send. (or you have build a solution that upload large blobs)

I also have heard a story that a user had access to a solution with its mobiel phone (GPRS) and that was also doable. But as i said before if you don't have large list especially with relationed data shown in the view then even the smallest lines are perfectly doable.

You can test it yourself ofcourse with our demo server.
