Say I have 4000 connections, I want to know how many of them are watching 720p, and so on. And I want to know how many Gbps is being consumed. Since Wowza limit is at 4Gbps, so I want to know if it crashes because I surpassed the limit or for some other reason.

Is there a way to know that?

Hi @Elie Obeid the only tool we have where you can track the bitrate of an incoming stream is:

`[https://www.wowza.com/docs/statistics-query-examples#incomingstats](https://www.wowza.com/docs/statistics-query-examples#incomingstats)`

**_bytesOut_** param will give the grand total and you can use this to track if you’re under 4GB bandwidth.
