Differnce between Input bitrate and Stream bitrate

[nehjain]

Hi
What is the difference between input bitrate and stream bitrate shown in the VLC statistics info and the send rate in the Streaming subsection ? When I am transcoding and then streaming a video from a server to a client , which field represents the actual video bitrate (received by the client and which field represents the bandwidth presently being used ( This should correspond to the send rate i think and should be the rate at which UDP packets are sent i believe ) .

Thanks
