Estimate Data Rate and BW requirements

["Manoussakis, Adamandios via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hello All,

 

Trying to understand a few things on data rate and bandwidth with regards to epics.  Most of epics is based off UDP/TCP, so I was thinking that your max will be related to TCP throughput calculations?

 

Is there a rule of thumb for epics on estimating BW requirements?

If the infrastructure is there to transmit and no BW issues what is the upper limit for data rate given a number of PVs?

Is there an upper limit depending on PVs and there sizes when doing transfers like caget?

 

Thanks
