Back-of-the-Envelope Estimation for System Design, With Worked Examples

<p>System design estimation is a way to turn an ambiguous product description into approximate traffic, storage, bandwidth, and capacity requirements. The goal is not to predict an exact production number. It is to expose the order of magnitude, make assumptions visible, and identify which part of the design deserves attention first.</p> <p>A useful estimate follows a repeatable sequence: define t
