Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter as a rough guide since ISDN throughput is a service-level descriptor
-
Consider Ethernet speed variations when comparing with fixed ISDN rates
-
Apply conversion results for planning rather than precise measurement
-
Check network protocol and latency differences beyond raw throughput
-
Verify actual network performance in real-world setups
Limitations
-
ISDN (dual channel) is not a standardized SI unit but a service-level descriptor
-
Ethernet speeds range widely, whereas ISDN dual channel speed is about 128 kbit/s
-
Conversions are approximate and don’t consider protocol overhead or network latency
-
Direct equivalency is limited due to different technologies and data packaging
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ISDN (dual channel) represent?
-
ISDN (dual channel) refers to a data transfer setup using two 64 kbit/s B channels bonded together to achieve approximately 128 kbit/s throughput, standardized within ISDN services.
-
Is Ethernet a unit of measurement?
-
Ethernet is not a measurement unit but a family of networking technologies defining how data is transmitted and packaged over physical media.
-
Why convert ISDN (dual channel) to Ethernet?
-
Conversion helps compare slower ISDN data rates with modern Ethernet speeds for network design, upgrade planning, and compatibility assessments.
Key Terminology
-
ISDN (dual channel)
-
A telecommunication service-level data-transfer configuration using two 64 kbit/s B channels bonded together for about 128 kbit/s throughput.
-
Ethernet
-
A family of standardized wired networking technologies and protocols for LANs defining data packaging, transmission, and detection.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The ratio used to convert ISDN (dual channel) throughput to Ethernet equivalent, approximately 1 ISDN (dual channel) = 0.0128 Ethernet.
