Isn't there a way to get guaranteed bandwidth / throughput / speed from both parties in this? Not that compression isn't great but this seems to upper-bound pretty much anything.
- stingraycharles 14y agoIn the pure theoretical definition, packet switched networks (the internet) are not capable of giving you any guarantees on the throughput. Because of this, parties such as Amazon / Rackspace are unlikely to give you these guarantees either. The closest thing you can get to guaranteed bandwidth today is to rent (dark) fiber between multiple DC's yourself.
- njyx 14y agoTrue - although you can get pretty good approximations. Still though, the point is valid: it would be very expensive to guarantee. Performance profile could drop badly pretty much any time.
