Bandwidth And Download Time Calculator
Bandwidth And Download Time: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers file size and unit. Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Bandwidth And Download Time Calculator is a planned calculator in the technology section of Super Calculator, covering computer science and technical.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: file size and unit, connection speed and unit, protocol overhead (%), concurrent streams and latency.
Outputs: transfer time, effective throughput, required speed for a target time, monthly data usage and bandwidth for concurrent users.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Transfer time = file size in bits divided by throughput in bits per second, adjusted for protocol overhead of roughly 5% to 10% for TCP over Ethernet. Note the factor of eight between megabits per second and megabytes per second, and the distinction between decimal and binary prefixes.
