bandwidth detection causes bandwidth consumption to spike

Hi everyone,

We are having a little problem implementing bandwidth detection with FMS, for some reason when enable it, bandwidth consumption spikes significantly I am wondering why? and if there a white paper somewhere that would talk about how properly implement this feature.

Kind regards.

Hey LordAlex,

This is a very common issue. You'll have to roll your bandwidth detection code to get something more reliable. The idea is to make the chunks bigger and grab better data to do the math with. The current system, while reasonably reliable, isn't because it's a very small snapshot of what could possibly be going on.

Hey thanks Graeme,

I presume when you say to 'roll your bandwidth detection', you mean doing the readings in larger intervals? like lets every 60 seconds?

Thank in advance.

Hi,

I dont think this should happen anyways can you tell exactly how did you concluded this. I mean to say how are you finding bandwidth usage as well as bandwidth detection.

The following link might be helpful for you.

Amit,

We are using the the code pretty as described here. I think the problem is the implementation, we were testing every 1 second. Now we test every 15 seconds. Could it be this the problem as Graeme points out? is there a reasonable suggested time to do the tests?
