Your focus on network performance as the problem here is moot. The problem is one of choosing when to transcode and adhering correctly to the client specification: if the client specifies 40Mbit/sec, then the server should transmit at a maximum of 40Mbit/sec. Whether or not the network is capable of sustaining 40mbit/sec is a entirely separate problem, solvable by adjusting the client parameters. But since the server does not make the decision to transcode correctly, it is much harder to achieve the desired result. Speed-testing my network connectivity between two sites does not make this problem any less relevant than presented.
