Bandwidth Usage Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Bandwidth Usage:

$BU = \frac{CB}{TB} \times 100$

Where:

$BU$ is the Bandwidth Usage (%)
$CB$ is the Current Bandwidth (Mbps)
$TB$ is the Total Available Bandwidth (Mbps)

What is Bandwidth Usage?

Bandwidth usage refers to the amount of data being transmitted over a network connection in a given period. It is typically expressed as a percentage of the total available bandwidth. Monitoring bandwidth usage is important for ensuring that network resources are being used efficiently and to avoid potential bottlenecks.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Current Bandwidth ( $CB$ ) = 50 Mbps
Total Available Bandwidth ( $TB$ ) = 100 Mbps

Using the formula:

$BU = \frac{50}{100} \times 100 = 50\%$

The Bandwidth Usage is 50%.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Current Bandwidth ( $CB$ ) = 75 Mbps
Total Available Bandwidth ( $TB$ ) = 150 Mbps

Using the formula:

$BU = \frac{75}{150} \times 100 = 50\%$

The Bandwidth Usage is 50%.
