Examples
-
1 modem (28.8k) equals 0.00375 E.P.T.A. 2 (payload)
-
10 modems (28.8k) equal 0.0375 E.P.T.A. 2 (payload)
Common Use Cases
-
Estimating download times and throughput of classic dial-up connections
-
Logging message sizes for E.P.T.A. 2 protocol communications
-
Defining payload limits in software systems using the E.P.T.A. 2 format
-
Comparing legacy modem speeds with modern protocol payload requirements
-
Assessing bandwidth and storage needs for systems handling E.P.T.A. 2 data
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent payload definitions when converting to E.P.T.A. 2 (payload) to maintain accuracy
-
Use this tool to translate legacy modem data rates into protocol-specific payload sizes effectively
-
Consider connection variability when working with modem (28.8k) rates as real-world throughput can fluctuate
-
Apply conversions primarily for analysis, monitoring, or integration between legacy and modern systems
Limitations
-
The E.P.T.A. 2 (payload) unit lacks a universal standard and depends on specific protocol definitions
-
Modem (28.8k) represents an approximate throughput; actual speeds may vary due to line quality
-
Conversion precision depends on how consistently the E.P.T.A. 2 payload size is defined within its protocol
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (28.8k) represent?
-
It is an informal data transfer rate representing approximately 28,800 bits per second typical for dial-up modem throughput.
-
Is E.P.T.A. 2 (payload) a standardized unit?
-
No, it is specific to the E.P.T.A. 2 protocol and defined by that protocol's own specifications rather than an external standard.
-
Why convert from modem (28.8k) to E.P.T.A. 2 (payload)?
-
This conversion helps analyze and compare legacy modem transfer rates with payload sizes used in systems communicating via the E.P.T.A. 2 format.
Key Terminology
-
Modem (28.8k)
-
An informal label for a data transfer rate of approximately 28,800 bits per second typical for 28.8k dial-up modems.
-
E.P.T.A. 2 (payload)
-
A non-standardized unit representing the amount of application data carried in a single message using the E.P.T.A. 2 protocol.
-
Data transfer rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device or system to another, often measured in bits per second.
