Specifications: Connection - T3 45Mbps Encoding rate - 22Kbps 1500 listeners 1200 Concurrent listeners Calculations: Formula - Total for

each bandwidth = number of concurrent connections at a given bandwidth * the given bandwidth Total bandwidth required = sum of total for each bandwidth (1200 * 450,000) + (1500 * 22,000) = 573,000,000 or 573Mbps Ref: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676114.aspx
CheckPoint: Calculating Bandwidth

Answer Key
Calculating Total Data Transfer To calculate total data transfer

1. Calculate the data transfer per minute.

22 Kbps multiplied by 60 seconds per minute = 1,320 kilobits per minute

2. Multiply the kilobits per minute by the average length of play.

1,320 kilobits per minute multiplied by 60 minutes = 79,200 kilobits

3. Convert the total kilobits to kilobytes.

79,200 kilobits divided by 8 bits per byte = 9,900 kilobytes

4. Convert the total kilobytes to megabytes.

9,900 kilobytes divided by 1,024 = 9.67 MB Calculating the Required Internet Connection Bandwidth To calculate the required Internet connection bandwidth

1. Multiply the maximum concurrent listeners by the encoding rate.

1,200 users multiplied by 22 Kbps = 26,400 Kbps

2. Convert the maximum kilobits per second to megabits per second.

26,400 Kbps divided by 1,024 = 25.8 Mbps

3. Can your Internet connection support the maximum number of concurrent users?
Yes, a T3 connection of 45 Mbps can support bursting of 25.8 Mbps.
