Plan transfer time and network capacity using explicit throughput assumptions.
Estimate transfer volume from a file size and download count over a period.
Open calculator100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s at full theoretical throughput.
Open calculatorEstimate the ideal transfer time for a file at a constant connection speed.
Open calculatorWork backward from a file size and deadline to estimate the connection speed required.
Open calculator100 viewers at 5 Mbps each require 500 Mbps outbound bandwidth and transfer about 225 GB in one hour.
Open calculatorBitrate and byte size are different quantities. Download efficiency can reduce usable throughput; concurrent viewers multiply outbound demand. Average transfer rates are planning figures and do not guarantee capacity during traffic peaks.
