How do I verify my data size that will be replicated through VVR

I need to find a way to figure out the Mb/sec (Mb=Megabits) that will be replicated to my offsite and the pipe size I need in order to stay insync. I have been testing VVR and have all of my setting ...

    To see what you are writing, use vxstat:

    If you think you are writing 4Mb/sec then you should see:

    On the primary site, 4Mb/sec going to SRL volume and an additional 4Mb/sec for the total of all the data volumes  and on the secondary site the SRL is only used to keep track of writes so there should be a small amount to SRL and 4Mb/sec to data volumes.

    Maybe you have your units mixed up and your network is correct at 10Mbits/sec, but your disk is writing 4Mbytes/sec.  

    vxstat reports in 512k block so multiply by 2048 to get Mbytes or multiply by 16384 to get Mbits.

And that all sounds like it. I started at about 100GB, after about 2 days it will catch up on all data except what you are seeing. I will try to pause the Application and see it is catches up as this service has traffic 24-7. Current output you can see it went back up
