Worked example

Inputs

Raw payload
100 MB

Compression throughput
200 MB/s
Network throughput
20 MB/s

Expected results

Sequential compressed send time
2 s
Time saved versus raw
3 s

How to use this tool

  1. Enter raw payload, compressed to raw ratio, compression throughput, network throughput in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate the scenario, then compare it with measurements before changing a system.

Try this example

{
  "size": 100,
  "ratio": 30,
  "cpu": 200,
  "net": 20
}

Accuracy and scope

Compression then transfer sequentially; excludes receiver decompression, pipelining and existing compression.
