  • For multicast, the streaming bandwidth is always equal to the streaming rate
  • Internet Streaming Bandwidth is only used when there is one or more viewers.  If using a reflector (e.g. PowerStream) no bandwidth is used when if there are no viewers even though you may be sending a stream to hosted reflector server.
