We plan on running a browser tab for a remote camera stream and also a tightvnc session(to keep an eye on the vision processing tablet) and as long as you fall within the rules you'll be fine.

A. Network Ports:
i. TCP 1180: Camera data from the roboRIO to the Driver Station (DS) when the camera is
connected the roboRIO via USB, bi-directional.
ii. TCP 1735: SmartDashboard, bi-directional
iii. UDP 1130: Dashboard-to-ROBOT control data, uni-directional
iv. UDP 1140: ROBOT-to-Dashboard status data, uni-directional
v. HTTP 80: Camera connected via switch on the ROBOT, bi-directional
vi. HTTP 443: Camera connected via switch on the ROBOT, bi-directional
vii. UDP/TCP 554: Real-Time Streaming Protocol for h.264 camera streaming, bidirectional
viii. UDP/TCP 5800-5810: Team Use, bi-directional
Teams may use these ports as they wish if they do not employ them as outlined above (i.e.
TCP 1180 can be used to pass data back and forth between the ROBOT and the DS if the
Team chooses not to use the camera on USB).

B. Bandwidth: no more than 7 Mbits/second.

normal http is port 80 so you can keep a tab open of a remote stream no problem but even a single camera can easily breach the 7mbit limit so you have to be careful here and do some proper testing to see what you can get away with. a proper encoded video stream will suit you far better than mjpeg. (.h264 gstreamer anyone?)

we're able to do everything we want and still stay within the limit but you need to be $@#$@#$@#$@# sure you fall within those rules or your setup simply won't work during competitions.
