Database bandwidth much higher compared to server bandwidth. Normal?

A while back we were transferring our reasonably popular forum to a new dedicated server (with the same host), and we noticed something weird. At first we used the new server to host just the database as this was the biggest issue. Then later we transferred the forum files and changed the dns for the domain. When we look back at the ban...

I'm looking into writing a small app (in Python) that monitors internet activity. The same idea as NetMeter except with a little more customisation (I need to be able to set off-peak time ranges). Anyway, I've been having a little trouble researching these questions: Does Python have an API to monitor this? As far as data collecting g...

Most efficient way to transfer images to a Silverlight client

I have an application that shows a screen of image thumbnails, each image is around 80k and they are stored in a database.

I'm expecting to show around 40 images on the screen at once so th...

Converting from bandwidth to traffic gives different results depending on operators position?

Hi. This must be a stupid question, but nevertheless I find it curious: Say I have a steady download of 128Kbps. How much disk space is going to be consumed after a hour in Megabytes? 128 x 60 x 60 / 8 / 1024 = 56.25 MB But 128 x 60 x 60 / 1000 /8 = 57.6 MB So what is the correct way to calculate this? Thanks! ...

Background to the ...

Metric for the impact of an application on network traffic

I'm writing an application and I'm able to set its throughput (the number of bits per second it sends over the wire) to whatever rate I wish. However, I would like to set it as high as possible, as long as other traffic on the network is not heavily impacted. The problem is, I don't have a good metric to measure that impact. I thought o...
