Variable bitrate and bandwidth usage
...-bandwidth internet connection. I listen to the stream locally using
Winamp, which shows the bitrate fluctuating between around 35-55 kbps,
the average being 48k.
Now suppose I have 10 external listeners connected. How much bandwidth
will they need/use? Common sense says:
average bitrate * 10 = 480kbps (plus any overheads)
Here's the question:
If I have 10 listeners connected, and the bitrate fluctuates up to
55kbps, then is the actual bandwidth requirement at that instant 550kbps?
Or are the fluctuations more rapid than I can appreciate from the Winamp
display?
Or to put it another way,...
