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.

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
