Bandwidth usage with homesharing

I have recently found my bandwidth being used while streaming from Macbook Pro to Apple TV whilst using Home Sharing. Watching a 1.2 GB movie streamed from iTunes to Apple TV uses 1.2 GB of bandwidth!
I have reset my Apple TV but the problem continues.
I have disconected the Bell modem from the internet and the problem goes away. The Macbook streams efficiently to the Apple TV using the home wireless network.
Has anyone encountered this problem? And, more importantly, can anyone suggest a solution.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Hi diesel vdub
I am definitely using the Computers icon of my Apple TV. I have factory reset the modem but the issue remains. As I mentioned before when the modem is on, but disconnected from the internet, movies and videos stream fine to the Apple TV with no significant bandwidth usage.

  • Concerned about bandwidth usage with this program.

    I live in a remote area which has few internet options. My internet plan is not unlimited. I pay high rates for anything I use over a specified amount. I can't allow any programs to regularly upload or download data unregulated by me. Is this situation going to make Adobe CC less useful to me? What will it effect?

    CC will not do anything you don't want. Aside from the regular check of the activation status, no data wil lbe sent or downloaded and al lsuch options for updates, synching, TypeKit etc. can simply be turned off.

  • How can i calculate the bandwidth usage of my Azure subscription?

    Hi,
    I know currently there is no API which provide bandwidth usage details. Is there any other way to find out my subscription's bandwidth usage?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Please have a look at below thread.
    #http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4590682/how-to-measure-windows-azure-bandwidth-usage-programmatically
    Here is a snippet.
    The Azure SDK doesn't provide any billing or consumption information programatically. As lgorek stated, you can approximate usage with IIS And WCF performance counters.And you'll also be able to use your own logging to track traffic from different users. 
    However, you won't be able to track bandwidth consumed when users download content from blob storage. Well, you could, but only if all of your blobs were private and you streamed their content through your web application instead of direct links on your web
    pages .

  • WRT160N Bandwidth usage

    Does this router monitor or meter bandwidth usage? Using Vista Home Premium OS, two other computers with WMP54GS and WMP54G PCI adapters and a PSP.
    Can it be configured to monitor or meter usage? Can I see the actual usage in real time?
    Question 2: (I can ask this elsewhere if you want) Is there a way to extend the antenna on WRT54G & S adapters since they tend to become shielded by the computer case itself?
    Thanks

    No Linksys router do not monitor band width.nor they can be coinfigured to do so. You can use high gain antennas for the adapters.

  • 100 percent bandwidth usage

    I have two 2 Cisco 2821-VK/9 routers between 2 offices. The connection between the 2 is a 2 Meg diginet line.
    When ever I copy a file between the two sites that is more than 1 Gb in size, the bandwidth usage is 100 % and it takes a very long time to complete.
    Could you please advice what I should do.
    Regards
    Cyril

    Hi Cyril,
    I'll assume since you're posting in the UC section that your question in some way relates to voice/video traffic on that link and perhaps not just to the length of time taken to copy large files.
    you might want to consider implemented a QoS policy on your network if there isn't one already in place.
    You can start with some light reading here.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/5x/50nstrct.html#wp1043960
    It won't make your 1Gb files copy faster but it can help stop them choking off your other network traffic.
    regards,
    Paul

  • High bandwidth usage while inactive

    Twice today I've glanced at Activity Monitor's Dock icon, which I have set to view Network Usage, and saw a large amount of data streaming continuously through my internet connection.
    This morning when I noticed it for the first time, I poked around my system, and after not seeing any other programs (Safari, Software Update, etc.) being active, I tried quitting Messages Beta - and the bandwidth instantly dropped down to nothing. At that time, it was moving around 60KB/sec upstream, and probably around half that downstream according to Activity Monitor.
    A few minutes ago this evening, I saw it happen again - my Activity Monitor was showing heavy continuous bandwidth usage. This time I simply set my status to 'Offline' in Messages Beta and once again it instantly dropped down to nothing. This time the bandwidth was closer to 160kb/sec upstream, and half that downstream! When I changed my status back to 'Available' a few seconds later, everything continued on normally, with almost no data usage.
    I had no active chats going, never used video, screen or file sharing - so what in the world is Messages Beta doing with so much data streaming? I'm quite mystified, and wondering if anybody else has seen this happen....

    The issue seemed to be local network traffic.

  • P2V WMM 2012 100Mbit maximize bandwidth usage?

    Hi,
    I’m trying to make a p2v over a 100Mbit ipsec connection with vmm 2012 where in my mind the 100Mbit is the limiting factor.
    When I look at bandwidth usage during transfer I see a jigsaw maxing out at 95Mbit and min 40Mbit, the whole transfer takes about 10h. I would really like to use my full (> 90) bandwidth constantly to reduce this transfer windows, I got lots of server to
    p2v…
    Can’t find any documentation which components are involved and options, probably agent <-> agent and bits?
    Anyone with experience that have tweaked this or know if something can be done to improve it?
    I have no problem maxing out this 100Mbit with an ftp transfer... (constan > 90Mbit)
    Thanks :)

    Hi MatteDS,
    I noticed the process of P2V , at the imaging phase it will use bits service
    to transfer the data :
    Imaging phase:
                      A Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) image is captured for each NTFS volume. If a dynamic destination VHD format is selected, this process captures data
    only, not empty spaces.
                      Data is streamed directly from the source computer to the VMM host using Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS).
                      Each physical volume becomes a separate virtual hard disk.
    Please try  to allow unencrypted file transfer , also disable bits service on the source host:
    Open the VMM Administrator Console
    Depending on your environment configuration, select the Host Groups (e.g. All Hosts) that has all of your Hyper-V hosts
    Right-click on the Host Folder (e.g. All Hosts)
    In the "Allow Unencrypted file transfers ", check the box

  • WTR1900 Internet Bandwidth Usage Report

    Hello,
    I have many client devices connected to my WRT1900... When I click on the Internet Bandwidth Usage Report, the results have every device listed as 0.00 MB of internet traffic.  Well, every device on my network access the Internet constantly.
    What am I missing to have this report actual provide some information?

    Hi @brudertl,
    I also got confused with this before. I just tried to powercycle the modem, router and all the devices on the network. This might help.

  • What Is The Network Bandwidth Usage Report?

    I'm looking at the "Network Bandwidth Usage" report and it's just a list of devices with no bandwidth numbers?  Is it ordered by amount of usage and if so, why isn't the usage displayed in the report and how do I see the usage for a device?  
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Page 22 of this document will give you some numbers that will allow you to estimate the total data used for a meeting. Keep in mind these numbers are what Adobe saw as average consumption, yours may be higher or lower.

  • Determining actual DSL bandwidth usage

    Hello All,
               I am seriously considering going to truly wireless (MiFi) internet after years of using DSL service.  However, there's one thing I have no data on:  my actual bandwidth usage month by month.
               Obviously I know I can't go back to day one and get this data, but I find it impossible to believe that it cannot be obtained relatively easily.  There is an old thread from 2010 where someone implied that one could query the DSL modem or modem/router could be queried to get this data.  I was not able to post a reply on that thread, and I presume that's because it's closed to new messages.
                Right now I have the latest D-Link router from Verizon and am able to log in to it without problems.  But this particular router has more possible options on more web pages (or their equivalent) than I've ever seen before.  Although I am a "tech geek" I have no idea where to look among the myriad options to seek out this data.
                If anyone has an answer as to how to query this router, or knows of a web resource that tells you how to do this "generically," I'm sure I can do so after a little noodling around.
                Thanks in advance for your assistance.
    Brian

    I'm not the most familiar with the D-Link routers Verizon hands out, but what you're looking to find is some information on the WAN or "Internet" end of the modem for how many bytes of traffic you have sent and received. This information may be for when the router was last rebooted or it may be from the last time your connection re-connedcted if it has dropped, so it isn't really accurate when it comes down to a breakdown of things. If you can get a byte count, it is easy to convert to Megabytes or Gigabytes from that point (Factorsof 10 in a general sense). By definition a Kilobyte is 1024 Bytes, but in some cases a factor of 10 is applied so a Kilobyte is 1000 Bytes. A Gigabyte can be 1024 or 1000 Kilobytes depending on how the data is being measured like previously mentioned.
    So, 40,960 Bytes / 1024 = 40 Kilobytes / 1024 = 0.039 Gigabytes.
    Considering how large (or small) the data plans tend to be on a Mi-Fi device, consider the type of network traffic you currently have and gauge it against future use. If you currently have gamers in the house, a Mi-Fi should already be off the table as a full blown replacement as cellular connections are poor quality connections for playing video games on. Not to mention, games and patches can consume the cap quickly if the gamer has a lot of games that they play. Also, if your home is Netflix or YouTube heavy, without turning down the video quality you'll find it's quite easy to run over a cap. On a Mi-Fi myself, I have to restrict my YouTube access since I am picky about low quality video, and force everything to HD. I can slip in a few videos on a Grandfathered 3GB plan with Verizon but if I watch some of the common, 20 minute videos I watch, that's a Gigabyte per video on average. My normal net usage would burn me through the cap in less than an hour.
    Just some food for thought, but keep in mind Verizon will most likely be unable to provide any sort of data usage counter. You may need to use third party routers or software in order to determine your usage per month.

  • Limiting Bandwidth usage for MDT 2013

    Hello Technet,
    I recently built up a MDT 2013 platform (on server 2k8R2) for deploying our Windows 7 image to over 125+ computers in our building at the same time.  Our deployment server, which is a VM, is located on the same host and switch as our web server
    (not my design) and I am forced to limit the bandwidth usage to only 50%.  I know WDS was/is able to limit bandwidth usage when multicasting, but I haven't found anything online about MDT being able to limit it.
    Do I need to have the WDS role installed on my server to limit the bandwidth or can MDT 2013 do this for me.  As always, any and all help is appreciated!

  • Optimize network bandwidth usage in large multi-size corporate environments

    SymptomsTo maintain a high protection level, you may notice an increase in bandwidth due to the increased number of updates released per day. Policy Manager Proxy (PMP) installations are especially affected as the additional strain on the likely slower network connection that exists between the remote site hosting the PMP installation(s) and the main corporate site with Policy Manager Server (PMS). The network bandwidth usage can be especially high when computers are turn on on Monday as the update packages accumulate over the weekend.
    DiagnosisBy default, the Automatic Update Server (AUS) in PMS calculates byte-level differences for the last five update packages (per update channel). In the event where computers were turned off over the weekend, client machine has missed five updates, and PMS will then download a full update package (Aquarius Windows updates can be approximately 140MB in size). When this happens, network bandwidth usage can be excessively high.
    SolutionWe recommend applying the suggested changes on all PMS and PMP systems and all of the F-Secure clients behind PMP installations. This may reduce the update size from 140MB to 10MB. The suggested solution consists of three different changes, outlined below:
    1. Increase the number of byte-level difference files stored by the PMS
    For Windows
    To increase the number of byte-level differentials maintained by Automatic Update Server:
    Open [F-Secure Installation Path]\FSAUS.PM\conf\server.cfg in Notepad.
    Find the key num_old_versions_to_compare, change the value to 50, and save the file.
    Restart Automatic Update Agent (AUA) and Automatic Update Server (AUS). In command prompt: net stop fsaua, net start fsaua, net stop fsms, net start fsms.
    For Linux
    To increase the number of byte-level differentials maintained by Automatic Update Server:
    Open /etc/opt/f-secure/fsaus/conf/server.cfg.
    Find the key num_old_versions_to_compare, change the value to 50, and save the file.
    Restart Automatic Update Agent (AUA) and Automatic Update Server (AUS) daemons (root privileges required): #/etc/init.d/fspms restart
    The overall disk space requirement for PMS increases. We estimate the disk consumption to increase by 10GB. Make sure the hard disk hosting the Policy Manager Server installation (Program files\F-Secure\Management Server 5\) has enough disk space.
    2. Increase the cache size available on the PMP for storing files
    For Windows
    Note: Use the Advanced mode in Policy Manager Console (View >> Advanced mode) to edit the setting.
    Go to F-Secure Policy Manager Proxy > Settings > Communication > Cache size.
    The default setting is 500. Increase this to 5000 (5GB) and distribute new policies.
    Verify the setting on all Policy Manager Proxy systems and adjust the settings, if needed. The setting specifies how much disk space is set aside for storing databases on the Policy Manager Proxy.
    For Linux
    As Policy Manager Proxy on Linux is not centrally managed, the change involves modifying a configuration file that exists on the Policy Manager Proxy system locally.
    Open /etc/opt/f-secure/fspmp/conf/proxy.cfg.
    Find the key max_cache_size, and change the value to 5000: max_cache_size=5000.
    Restart the fspmp daemon (root privileges required): #/etc/init.d/fspmp restart
    3. Adjust the F-Secure Anti-Virus client configuration using Policy Manager Console (PMC) to help prevent clients from immediately falling back to downloading updates directly from the PMS.
    In case the client is unable to connect to the Policy Manager Proxy, for example due to high network traffic and multiple downloads taking place, the following setting dictates how soon the client attempts to connect directly to the Policy Manager Server to download updates.
    In Policy Manager Console, go to F-secure Automatic Update Agent > Settings > Communications > Policy Manager Proxies > PMP Proxy fallback time.
    Default value is zero which means fallback to PMS takes place immediately, in case where Policy Manager Proxy installation cannot be reached. To prevent this from happening, configure this setting to a higher value (suggest 7 hours).
    These steps should ensure database updates are only downloaded via the PMP.
