formula or calc to convert input rate to bandwidth %

Whats the formula?

Is there a calc out there?

InputRate/Bandwidth

is this for the 5 min input / output rate ?
do I need to convert BW 1544 Kbit to bits?

5 minute input rate 9000 bits/sec, 3 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 2000 bits/sec, 4 packets/sec
90791 packets input, 52404011 bytes, 0 no buffer

What would this % be?

 

[jneiberger]

You tell me. What information do you actually want? The five minute input rate will give you a weighted average. It's not overly accurate unless your input is relatively consistent, but it's a decent place to start.

As with any other sort of ratios, your units must be the same, no? You can't have bits on the top and Kbits on the bottom. Convert them so that you have the unit of your choice.

its in or output rate / bandwidth

Complete sentences are your friends. I'm having trouble understanding what you want to know.

For five minutes, you have an average of 9Kb per second. That's 1.125 KB per second. Let's say it's a T1, 1.544MB per second. This input rate would be 1,125 bits out of 1,544,000 bits per second. From here, the easiest way to figure what percantage 1,125 is of 1,544,000 is to take 1,125 and divide it by 1,544,000,which gives you .000728, and move the decimal over two places, which gives you about .0728%

Forgot---lines are measured in bytes, so convert bits to bytes first...
