How much bandwidth do you think that would use symmetrically? I only <br>
have symmterical gigabit presently, so I wouldn't want it to use more <br>
than about 500mbps to leave room for other things.<br>

Would also need to load test, it was mainly used for family "gatherings" <br>
during covid, maybe 10-12 connections tops.<br>
