ECM high count using OScam

I am finding that some cards work better in Oscam. I am revisiting it using a JSC Sports card, and rather than controlling what I take from others (even though that is something I am starting to work on) - I have created an entry in Oscam.services that I set on each user account that blocks requests for Jsc Sports +9 and +10, which ensures that none of my peers who have this are getting requests for these channels. This works fine because those services are available on different cards, so can still clear, but doesn't generate any more traffic than CCcam would in this respect. Also to start with, it certainly helps in blocking out receiving services from peers on hop 2 where you have ample of the same on hop 1. If you have a card with a Caid and Ident that covers hundreds of services, and you only subscribe to a card that has a few of them services, then Oscam is a nightmare.

Also have a look at loadbalancing and the oscam wiki for more advice on that. you can actually rotate the requests on your server evenly so rather than hitting your fastest peer for requests on a particular service, you can arrange it so that it is evened out, either rotating the requests, or sending them to the one with the lowest usage, and oscam remembers and learns as well, but these stats get reset at intervals that you can define. Oscam is much work, but can work if you use it right, but as ten said you definitely need to deal with the services that are not on your card, but you still will get the problem that even if a peer does give you a reshare of a service that can be subscribed on your card, but isn't, no matter what you do, it will generate more traffic for your peers than CCcam, and will also appear to your peer as hop one - where it should be hop 2.
