On: ZMap: Single packet network scanner designed for Internet-wide network surveys

Regarding the bandwidth, your own connection is going to be the upper bound: "If ZMap simply probed every IPv4 address in numerical order, it would risk overloading destination networks with scan traffic and produce inconsistent results in the case of a distant transient network failure. To avoid this, ZMap scans addresses according to a random permutation of the address space."
