Bandwidth Planner
This tool continues the Network Design Flow
Use this step to estimate traffic demand after confirming switch power headroom. Calculated values from the previous step can carry forward into this tool, reducing re-entry and preserving design context.
This flow includes both Free and Pro tools. Unlock Pro to complete the full sequence.
Best for: estimating aggregate network demand from mixed devices and checking whether current uplinks can support average and peak traffic safely.
Calculator
Enter the expected number of active streams or devices, your average traffic per stream, peak multiplier, explicit overhead, and current uplink size.
Results
Model: average = devices × average Mbps. Peak = average × peak factor. Overhead is applied to modeled traffic, then other traffic is added. Utilization is checked against the selected uplink capacity.
