Thoughts on large scale streaming bandwidth
Posted by eXonyte at 1:02 PM
The networking nerd in me is fascinated by the logistics behind large live streaming events, and the annual NFL Super Bowl is one of the largest regularly scheduled events to watch. Last year, the primary streaming outlet hosted some 8.5 million users alone. This year, the Fox owned Tubi service gets a chance to prove its streaming chops. If the growth trend continues, 2025 may be the first year that the primary stream cracks 10 million average viewers, with some outlets projecting potentially 12.5 million viewers. So, how much bandwidth will that need?
