Computer and network requirements
Network requirements
Bandwidth
Total upstream/downstream requirements (approximate):
- Class time: 4Mbps down / 1Mbps up
- Performance time: may spike to 6 or 7 Mbps down / 2Mbps up.
Further info: Each computer running Second Life will need an average of 80Kbps downstream, spiking at about 400Kbps on initial connect and during teleports. Upstream is much lower, requiring 30Kbps on average. See the Second Life Support site for the latest network specifications.
During networked performances with our partners in Amsterdam we will be sending and receiving Quicktime audio/video streams. Streaming server bandwidth: 400Kbps per user, max users approximately 50(?).
Firewall
Open ports required:
- Second Life: 443/TCP, 12035/UDP, 12036/UDP, and 13000-13050/UDP
- Second Life voice: 21002 - TCP, 12000-13000 - UDP, 5060 or 5062 - UDP
- Quicktime streaming
- Preferred setup: HTTP streaming on port 80
- Not preferred, more difficult, less reliable setup
- TCP port 80: Used for signaling and streaming RTSP/HTTP (if enabled on server)
- TCP port 554: Used for RTSP
- UDP ports 6970–9999: Used for UDP streaming (a smaller range of UDP ports, typically 6970-6999, can usually be used)
- TCP port 7070: Optionally used for RTSP (Real Server uses this port; QTSS/Darwin can also be configured to use this port)
