3-5

v1.0, June 2009

• Streaming HD video requires 10 to 30 Mbps per stream. Because latency and packet loss can

disrupt your video, plan to provide at least twice the capacity you need.

• Streaming MP3 audio requires less than 1 Mbps per stream and does not strain most modern

networks. Like video, however, streaming audio is also sensitive to latency and packet loss, so

a congested network or a noisy link can cause problems.

• Backing up computers over the network has become popular due to the availability of

inexpensive mass storage. Table 3-1 shows the time to transfer 1 gigabyte (1 GB) of data using

various networking technologies.
