What is the optimal usage of Bandwidth for a Signaling server?

Hi,

  We are using Licode for a Audio/Video conferencing solution. For a 

conference room with 15 members (audio only, without video), the bandwidth
usage of the Signaling Server is in the range of 4 MB/sec (Out) and 750
KB/sec (In). Is this expected regular usage or should it be less?

  Also, is there a baseline, with which we can compare against?

The bandwidth is high because bandwidth requirements for a many to many
conference grown at n^2, where n is the number of users in the conference.
So even for audio-only, bandwidth is quickly going to ramp up as you add
more users.

Assuming 40 kbps per audio stream, for 15 users you’d be looking at about 9
Mbit/sec (40000 * 225), which is still quite a bit less than what you’re
reporting (I’m assuming your numbers are megaBYTE and not megaBIT?). Are
you using opus, and are you sure you’re not sending any video?On Thursday, January 7, 2016 at 12:38:49 AM UTC-7, Prakash G.R. wrote:
