Sorry Bill,
You missed the point which was why you are not seeing anything close to the theoretical throughput of the device.
It was simply guidance on why, trying to help you get a better result, nothing more.
But while we are at it, no, you can not stream multiple 4 k streams over 20mb.
If you are able to do that then Amazon, Netflix, HULU all want to talk to you and your solution is worth billions.
Two get two 4K streams going (ignoring bandwidth consumed by overhead) you need to get each stream to 10 Mbps which means 40%-50% efficiency on the compression and a frame rate of 24 fps. That's what the math says.
Netflixs minimum for 4K streaming is 15 Mbps dedicated meaning you'll need space for overhead and anything else on the pipe so if you are checking OT while streaming you are pushing it. That's a moderately aggressive compression and reduced frame rate. The recommended dedicated bandwidth for quality 4K streaming is 25 Mbps per stream.
Anything less than that and you are better of watching it on blu-Ray.
