back of the envelope calculation based on a packet size of 1500 bytes (including packet overhead) yields about 2.25mbits/s required to transmit live video. I'm afraid an envelope wont cut it. You can send video over any reasonable link speed. The question is what quality of video can you send? It depends on the encoding algorithm, the size (in pixels) of the screen, the frame rate, the nature of the video itself, and even the ability of the link to maintain a steady data flow (vs. having the data in bursts). The exact facts are beyond my knowledge, but I was under the impression that 1mbit stream can typically give an "ok" full screen video. Mediocre quality, but acceptable. Anyone know if this is true? Have any @home users out there got feedback on what streaming video looks like? Eric
