Re: Calculating bandwidth Requirements

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi,

Your bandwidth requirements are dictated by the bitrates of your content
times the number of clients you want to have simultaneously connected.

To work backwards, a T1 is roughly 1536k. Divide this by the bitrate of your
content.

For instance, if your video stream is a 256k bitrate, then the maximum
number of clients you could support is 6. If you have a 64k audio file, then
the maximum clients you could have simultaneously is 24.

If you want to guarantee a minimum number of clients for each piece of
content, you would need to create 2 publishing points, and limit the number
of connections.

For example, using the 256k video bitrate, and the 64k audio bitrate:
If you want to guarantee at least 4 simultaneous users for each:

Publishing point: /video/
connection limit: 5 (5x256=1280k)

Publishing point: /audio/
connection limit: unlimited

This would guarantee at least 256k (4 audio connections) for your audio
point - and up to the full bandwidth if no one is viewing video (up to 24
connections). It also limits your simultaneous video users to 5.

Thanks,
Bill
