[Opensim-users] Awaiting region handshake

[Karen Palen]

The only meaningful test is to actually try it out.

Cable/DSP providers use all kinds of tricks to make their numbers seem
bigger. Quoting in "bits per second" rather than "bytes per second" or
"baud' (which takes overhead into account) is just one such trick.

Typically the only thing they actually guarantee is to cash your monthly
check, everything else is done just because they want it to happen. :-(

ALL the same the only real difference is the actual number of AVs that
you can support before lag becomes a problem - it may be 2-3 or it may
be 8-10, but it certainly won't be 20+!

Either way, everything I have experienced says that the upload bandwidth
is the thing that will limit you, not CPU poser, RAM or HDD space!

This is the exact opposite of a commercial VPS server which will often
offer "unlimited" bandwidth, but very limited CPU/RAM.
