Help with long latency Silverlight streaming...

[george-at-fastsoft.com]

Hi,

We are trying to run some high latency Silverlight streaming tests from a server we have setup in Tokyo to users in the USA. I'm looking for users that have at least 10Mbps of downstream bandwidth and can play full screen video more than 1280x1024.

If you have this can you help me test the following links and let me know what rate the red line is displaying in the graphing player? Eg. 2Mbps, 4Mbps, 6Mbps

Please clear browser cache between tests, I disbled the smooth streaming client cache but it seems some browsers cache that anyway!

Anyway everyone with 6MB internet bandwidth at least can watch in highest quality!! BTW, It's good that you have used Expression Encoder version 4.0.3205.0!!

Btw, What's the dif between these 2 vids? Why do you use port 81?

[george-at-fastsoft.com]

Port 80 is using long range tcp optimization.

Is there anyway to record your actual download speed?

Which tool are you using?

Thanks
George

of course!!
