Examples
-
1 ISDN (dual channel) equals approximately 0.1220703125 Mb/s.
-
10 ISDN (dual channel) converts to about 1.220703125 Mb/s.
Common Use Cases
-
Translating ISDN data rates for small-office internet and file transfers.
-
Evaluating remote LAN access or backup links using bonded B channels.
-
Understanding combined voice and data session bandwidths involving ISDN.
-
Comparing older ISDN throughput with contemporary network speeds in Mbps.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure values entered are based on bonded B channel configurations for accuracy.
-
Use conversions to facilitate legacy system integration with modern networks.
-
Remember this tool assumes ideal channel bonding without overhead losses.
-
Apply converted values for planning and assessing network equipment capacities.
Limitations
-
ISDN (dual channel) is a service-level data rate descriptor, not a strict SI unit.
-
Real ISDN throughput may vary slightly due to protocol overhead and conditions.
-
The megabit/second unit assumes standard SI data rates without accounting for ISDN inefficiencies.
-
Conversion presumes perfect channel bonding without any data loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ISDN (dual channel) represent?
-
ISDN (dual channel) refers to using both 64 kbit/s B channels of an ISDN Basic Rate Interface in parallel to achieve about 128 kbit/s data throughput.
-
Why convert ISDN (dual channel) to megabit/second?
-
Converting helps express ISDN data rates in widely recognized Mbps units, making it easier to compare and plan modern network bandwidth.
-
Does the conversion account for actual ISDN overhead?
-
No, the conversion assumes ideal channel bonding and does not include additional overhead or protocol inefficiencies inherent in ISDN.
Key Terminology
-
ISDN (dual channel)
-
A data transfer rate configuration using two 64 kbit/s bearer channels bonded to provide about 128 kbit/s throughput.
-
Megabit/second [Mb/s]
-
A standard unit measuring data transfer speed equal to one million bits per second.
