Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this tool to help compare ISDN data rates against broadband speeds
-
Remember that the ISDN rate assumes ideal channel bonding for conversion
-
Apply the conversion to aid clear communication of network performance
Limitations
-
ISDN (dual channel) is not an SI unit and fixed at around 128 kbit/s
-
Conversion does not consider protocol overhead or real-world throughput effects
-
Megabit/second (SI def.) omits transmission details specific to some ISDN implementations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ISDN (dual channel) represent in data transfer?
-
ISDN (dual channel) indicates using both 64 kbit/s B channels of an ISDN Basic Rate Interface in parallel to provide a combined data throughput of about 128 kbit/s.
-
Why convert ISDN (dual channel) to megabit per second (SI def.)?
-
Converting to megabit per second (SI def.) allows expressing ISDN throughput in standardized SI units common in modern networking, facilitating easier comparison and specification.
-
Does this conversion account for real-world network overhead?
-
No, the conversion assumes ideal channel bonding and does not include protocol or transmission overhead that may reduce actual throughput.
Key Terminology
-
ISDN (dual channel)
-
A telecommunication data-transfer rate using both 64 kbit/s B channels of an ISDN Basic Rate Interface bonded together to provide about 128 kbit/s throughput.
-
Megabit/second (SI def.)
-
A unit of data transfer rate equal to 10^6 bits transmitted each second, used to quantify digital communication bandwidth.
-
Channel Bonding
-
Combining multiple communication channels in parallel to increase data throughput, as in ISDN (dual channel) using two B channels.
