A Calculator for Packets
“Ridding the world of uncalculated packets, one engineer at a time.”
PacketCalc answers questions like:
- What size payload does a 128 byte ethernet frame carry?
- My work VPN allows only 512 byte packets. How long will it take to upload a 5GB file over IPv4 + TCP (assuming a good connection)?
- Our new data center deployed a 100Gb/s IPv6 fabric with top of rack switch support for VXLAN (IPv6 VTEPs). Our fabric MTU is 9216 bytes, but BULK class of service is throttled to 70%. What's the maximum throughout we can achieve in BULK tagged IPv4 UDP packets sent over this fabric?
