B.7 OTT Bandwidth requirements
The recommended available bandwidth for full coverage OTT monitoring is equal to the sum of the profile
bitrates monitored plus an estimated overhead of 20 % for manifests and IP, TCP and HTTP headers.
Note:
The OTT engines will be using all available bandwidth on the interface in spikes while downloading
the chunks, this is the main reason why it is not a good idea to mix multicasts on the same interface, as it
can cause packet drops which multicasts cannot handle.
