Tools / Network & Throughput

Network & Throughput

Plan bandwidth, latency, PoE budgets, and topology before the install.

Network problems rarely show up in the spec sheet. They show up in the field: oversubscribed uplinks, PoE headroom that disappears after adds, long cable runs, and “it was fine yesterday” congestion. These tools help you model the real world before it becomes a rollback.

Design Pipeline

Follow a recommended engineering sequence

Some ScopedLabs tools work as a connected workflow. In Network & Throughput, the Design Flow carries you from switch power planning into bandwidth, oversubscription, and latency validation so you can move from rough sizing to design checks with less re-entry.

DESIGN PIPELINE

PoE Budget → Bandwidth → Oversubscription → Latency

Includes both Free and Pro tools. Unlock Pro to complete the full flow.

Free Tier

PoE Budget & Switch Margin Analyzer

Calculate total PoE draw, headroom, and safe capacity including a margin factor.

Bandwidth Planner

Estimate total stream throughput and uplink requirements by device count and bitrate.

MTU & Fragmentation Helper

Sanity-check MTU overhead, fragmentation risk, and safe payload sizes for common tunnels.

Pro Tier

Growth Simulator

Model staged adds over time and see headroom erosion as the network grows.

Latency Budget Calculator

Model end-to-end delay and identify where latency is being introduced.

Latency & Jitter Buffer Planner

Estimate jitter tolerance and buffer sizing trade-offs (delay vs. smooth playback).

Uplink Oversubscription Estimator

Stress-test uplinks under worst-case bitrate and peak-motion periods.

Packet Loss Impact Model

Estimate quality degradation risk from loss/repair behavior (retries, buffering, drops).

Uplink Failure Impact

Model failover scenarios and what breaks when the uplink drops or degrades.

VPN Overhead Estimator

Estimate throughput loss and MTU overhead for common VPN/tunnel modes and encryption profiles.
