Info Server Bandwidth requirement for live streaming

[redhat]

H, I get often question how much the server bandwidth requirement is for live streaming.

It is important know that because some dedicated servers provider offer just limited monthly bandwidth usage like 100 TB. The 100 TB may sound sufficient, but in most cases it is not. The 100 TB can be used up quickly, then the hoster can demand high costs for additional traffic, completely block the server traffic or throttle the bandwidth from e.g. 1Gbps to 100Mbps. I've marked the monthly bandwidth values directly in bold and red below so it's easier to pick up them.


So a dedicated Server with:


1 Gbps bandwith (at full 1Gbps capacity usage)

SI decimal (1 MB = 1 000 000 bytes)
125 MB/s
7.5 GB/min
450 GB/hr
10.8 TB/day
75.6 TB/wk
324 TB/mo
3.94 PB/yr


2 Gbps bandwith (at full 2Gbps capacity usage)

SI decimal (1 MB = 1 000 000 bytes)
250 MB/s
15 GB/min
900 GB/hr
0.9 TB/hr
21.6 TB/day
151.2 TB/wk
648 TB/mo
7.88 PB/yr


3 Gbps bandwith (at full 3Gbps capacity usage)

SI decimal (1 MB = 1 000 000 bytes)
375 MB/s
22.5 GB/min
1.35 TB/hr
32.4 TB/day
226.8 TB/wk
972 TB/mo
0.97 PB/mo
11.8 PB/yr


4 Gbps bandwith (at full 4Gbps capacity usage)

SI decimal (1 MB = 1 000 000 bytes)
500 MB/s
30 GB/min
1.8 TB/hr
43.2 TB/day
302.4 TB/wk
1.3 PB/mo
15.8 PB/yr


5 Gbps bandwith (at full 5Gbps capacity usage)

SI decimal (1 MB = 1 000 000 bytes)
625 MB/s
37.5 GB/min
2.25 TB/hr
54 TB/day
378 TB/wk
1.62 PB/mo
19.7 PB/yr

.

10 Gbps bandwith (at full 10Gbps capacity usage)

SI decimal (1 MB = 1 000 000 bytes)
1.25 GB/s
75 GB/min
4.5 TB/hr
108 TB/day
756 TB/wk
3.24 PB/mo
39.4 PB/yr


20 Gbps bandwith (at full 20Gbps capacity usage)

SI decimal (1 MB = 1 000 000 bytes)
2.5 GB/s
150 GB/min
9 TB/hr
216 TB/day
1.51 PB/wk
6.48 PB/mo
78.8 PB/yr
