Q: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
