I have an assignment in my networking class that I am having trouble understanding how to figure out. Here is what it is asking for:
I have not come across anything regarding this, and Google is not being very helpful this morning (probably has something to due with my lack of sleep). Anyway, some direction on this would be most helpful and appreciated. Thanks.
Complete the following calculations: Calculate bandwidth requirements for a live event
that is streamed over the Internet based on the information below.
You are the network administrator for an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Your company
has been asked to provide bandwidth for a live event produced by one of your clients.
You have been asked to calculate the total data transfer required for the event. You have
also been asked to verify that your Internet connection can support the maximum
estimated concurrent listeners. You have a 45-megabits-per-second (Mbps) connection
to the Internet (a T3 circuit).
Event details
• Time of the event: 6:00 P.M.-8:00 P.M.
• Encoding rate: 22 kilobits per second (Kbps)
• Average length of play: 60 minutes
• Total listeners: 1,500
• Concurrent listeners: 1,200
Calculation 1: Calculate the total data transfer for the live event.
Calculation 2: Calculate the required internet connection bandwidth.
