Why does the conversion rate differ from the nominal ISDN channel rate?

The nominal ISDN (single channel) data rate is 64 kbit/s, but this converter uses 62.5 kb/s due to different counting standards between nominal and decimal units.

Can I use this tool to combine multiple ISDN channels?

Yes, by converting each channel and then summing the kilobits per second values, you can calculate the total throughput of aggregated channels.

What is a kilobit per second (kb/s)?

A kilobit per second is a measure of data transfer rate representing 1,000 bits transmitted each second, commonly used in networking to express link throughput.
