→What is the User Bandwidth Requirement for using Platform3?
# ''Platform3'' is stateless, so there are no communication requirements in the background, once the page loads and no additional bandwidth is required until the user sends a request or information back to ''Platform3''.
# Other commonly used programs place a much higher demand on Internet bandwidth. For instance, email, email attachments, streaming videos, can all place a much greater strain on the available bandwidth.
# The application of the formula "peak bandwidth / number of users = average bandwidth per user" does not accurately portray the average bandwidth usage by the average user at [[SmartSimple]]. ''Platform3'' handles considerably more transactions per second in aggregate from all our clients than any one individual client would see from their end.
In summary, it is difficult to specify client bandwidth because of the nature of the Internet and individual client usage. Network latency, peering issues, bandwidth at upstream providers, users using their Internet connections for other purpose besides ''Platform3'' etc. will affect the perceived performance of the connection. [[SmartSimple ]] recommends engaging a networking professional to help measure, allocate, and monitor appropriate bandwidth and networking resources.
