How to calc Robocopy IPG

Robocopy’s “inter-packet gap” (IPG) option allows some control over the network bandwidth utilized in a session. In theory, the following formula expresses the delay (D, in milliseconds) required to simulate a desired bandwidth (BD, in kilobits per second), over a network link with an available bandwidth of BA kbps:

D = {B_A - B_D over B_A times B_D} times 512 times 1000
