Please explain bandwidth requirements

Bandwidth formula is query size * request per second, it should be 0.17 mb how it came to 1.39 mb

Hi Dhananjay,

In our scenario, we first divide the total number of requests per day by the number of seconds in a day to determine the requests per second, which calculates to approximately 1736.11 requests per second.

Next, we multiply this figure by the query size, which is 100 bytes, and then by 8 to convert it into bits per second. The result is 1.39 Mb/s (megabits per second):

1736.11× 100× 8 = 1.39 Mb/s

Thank you.
