SWGfL Peak Bandwidth Usage Interpretation.

[kennysarmy]

Just checked our weekly/monthly Peak Bandwidth Usage :

 

We pay for a 100Mb connection.

 

Does n't look like we're peaking at 100 too often so we appear to be on the correct connection, comments?

Interestingly I noticed a similar thing.

Our line was upgraded from 10 to 20 mb a few months ago but the peak has stayed the same at 10 mb. Ookla shows 20/20 mbs so maybe it's the swgfl monitor?

You have to remember a few things, this is compacted data so the peak is likely a medium of a few hours, when a class all go to YouTube for example it will peak out for the initial stream then slow down as it buffers, and also you need some flexibility, you do not want to be maxing out your link constantly, leaving yourself twenty percent is reasonable.

 

If you looked at traffic graphs for only school hours and had a more detailed view so you could see every ten minutes then you would have a better idea of your usage.
