[AusNOG] Village Roadshow confirms Netflix coming to Australia

[James McMillan]

Sure you would need 800+ customers simultaneously streaming a SD stream, but once we look into the higher resolutions it doesn’t seem that unreasonable to hit.

According to Netflix, their HD streams use 3GB per hour for HD, 4.7GB per hour for 3D and 7GB per hour for 4k.

3GB per hour = 6.82 Mbps = 293 customers simultaneously
4.7GB per hour = 10.69 Mbps = 187 customers simultaneously
7GB per hour = 15.92 Mbps = 125 customers simultaneously

Obviously not all users will be using HD or above, but it would be crazy to expect no one to be using the higher resolutions.

1.     At least 2 Gb/s of aggregate IPv4 traffic, measured using 95th Percentile in either direction, must be exchanged on an ongoing basis.

I wouldn't imagine that would be difficult to achieve.
Its forseeable to think that some might have 1,000 customers simultaneously downloading 2.5 Mbit/s streams in peak, but its not about peak, its about what you have in a 24 hour period to AS2906.
