Understanding the bandwidth requirements of a given application is a key requirement. Skype documentation provides only general guidance as to expected bandwidth usage. The documentation states that the bandwidth is determined dynamically by the Skype software based on, among other elements, the bandwidth available between the clients.

Network architects need to be able to plan for the bandwidth requirements for potentially high-volume applications like Skype. This report benchmarks the bandwidth utilization between a single pair of Skype clients as the (simulated) WAN between them varies from narrowband (28.8) to broadband (10Mbps). This will provide some fundamental insights into expected load.
