Can you estimate if our current servers are enough to handle 1000TPS? Do we need a lot more servers or are we fine with current levels? I want us to be efficient with NXT usage, but I want to make sure the network can handle the 1000TPS. That sounds like a really good number

If we can determine the cost of supporting 1000TPS, then we can allocate the funds ahead of time and even get ready to ramp up the servers, but only deploy them as the TPS actually starts climbing. This way, we can grow the NXT network most cost effectively.

Once we have that budgeted, then we can see what other costs the NXT community can reach consensus on.

I can tell u the lowest bound of bandwidth requirement:

Min transaction length = 128 bytes
1000 tps = 1000 * 128 byte * 8 bit/byte / 1 s = 1 Mbps

Does that mean that all nodes have to have 1Mbps or just the forging node? What happens if the forging node doesn't have that much bandwidth?
