Open Stack

Thank you for all of the great replies.

I think we now have a good idea of what we need,

The other important factor for OS East (and just as applicable to OS Summit and LCA) is that most attendees will have MULTIPLE devices. I'd expect 2 per person to be on and working (and a 3rd low bandwidth device for their e-book reader.)

This doubling and tripling is what confuses most organizers.

We can also ask our summit event management partner (fntech) to share their best practices. I know that bandwidth is just one of many factors.

Here's a helpful Bandwidth calculator: http://www.psav.com/bandwidth_estimator/  There are a few others out there<https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=bandwidth%20per%20person%20for%20wifi> if you'd like to compare/contrast.

I'd say all of our attendees have high bandwidth requirements.

This was my question for the OpenStack Days - East event.

I just want to make sure we have enough bandwidth behind the Wifi since
the OpenStack Summits do an excellent job of making sure we have plenty
of bandwidth and there are few things in life worse than slow wifi.

My vendors is recommending 50/50 Mbps pipe for the event which we are
expecting 600 people.

Does anyone know if there is a rule of thumb of how much badnwidth per
user/attendee makes sense?

Intuitively that sounds a bit light on to me - I can find out what we usually provision for linux.conf.au<http://linux.conf.au/> which is of similar size if slightly different audience if you like ?

Cheers,
Hugh
