Real throughput may vary from theoretical values used in this conversion
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does Ethernet (Gigabit) represent?
-
Ethernet (Gigabit) denotes IEEE 802.3 network standards with a nominal data transfer rate of 1 gigabit per second, commonly used in local area networks.
-
What is Modem (9600) used for?
-
Modem (9600) indicates a data rate of 9,600 bits per second and is typically associated with classic dial-up modems and legacy serial communications.
-
Can this converter account for real network throughput?
-
No, this conversion compares nominal bit rates only and does not consider real-world factors like protocol overhead or error correction.
Key Terminology
-
Ethernet (Gigabit)
-
A network standard under IEEE 802.3 that offers around 1 gigabit per second data transfer, typically used in LANs.
-
Modem (9600)
-
A classic modem speed indicating a data transfer rate of 9,600 bits per second, associated with older dial-up connections.
-
Nominal Bit Rate
-
The theoretical maximum data transfer speed of a connection without considering overhead or losses.
