Maximum Virtual Bandwidth (MVP):	2.2868686653808968e+18
Total Vesting Shares (TVS):	372442029473.9579

MVP and TVS are 2 system required values to get our account's bandwith

What means bandwidth in Steem? :

Let’s view a blockchain like an Internet Service Provider (ISP) co-op which owns all of the cables in the town and has a maximum amount of bandwidth that it can provide at any time. People living in the town can buy shares in the ISP and in exchange they are entitled to utilize a portion of the available bandwidth.

Why is it getting important?

Every time we post we spend bandwith, we need to keep it above a dynamic level to be able to post , if we spend too much we wont be able to post for a while

You wont be able to post , vote or even Power UP your account , until you get more Steem Power or your bandw rate decreases

The formula uses also 2 more Account parameters :

Account Vesting Shares (AVS)
Account Average Bandwith (AAB)

we need to keep our bandwith use below the limit we get assigned based upon our Vesting Power

which formula is this:

AAB/MVP < AVS/TVS

which is also :

AVS/TVS- AAB/MVP >0

You can calculate account's bandwith state , by replying this post and writing :account_name

Please watch gif below to see how it works

This calculator is still in beta , it will work only in the last post from me , so if this one gets older will not work!
