Netflix can now serve 100Gbit/s of video (so something like 12,500 individual 4K streams) with an appliance using 100 watts of power. That’s 8 milliwatts for each 4K stream.
Remember that number the next time someone tells you that watching a Netflix show is as bad as driving an SUV or some shit.
@karppinen That's true, but the actual externalized cost of streaming is the network route between Netflix and you, not their servers.
@dalias sure, that network route is *very* short on average for the open connect appliances, though.
