Understanding the audio streaming radio
If you notice an explosion in connection number, this may be the sign that listeners have had more problems these months and have had to log in several times; note the number of unique IP connections, it gives a good indication of the origin of the problem if they are stable.
Problems can arise, for example, from the Icecast servers, but also from an upstream transmission problem (cutting of the signal sent by the radio, due to a problem of the encoding server or on Internet lines) or from downstream problems on the listeners' side (inadequate bandwidth, saturation of the lines, internet shutdown). It is impossible to investigate what could have happened several months earlier.

The statistics In general, they are very specific. You will be able to use 3 stat applications and you will get 3 different results.
