Overhead, hardware limits, and protocol inefficiencies are not accounted for
-
Primarily useful for comparison and benchmarking across technologies
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does T1C (payload) measure?
-
T1C (payload) represents the user-data portion of a T1 digital carrier after removing framing and overhead, typically reflecting effective throughput on a T1 line.
-
What is IDE (UDMA mode 2)?
-
IDE (UDMA mode 2) is a Parallel ATA transfer mode also known as ATA/33, indicating a maximum theoretical transfer rate for legacy PC storage devices.
-
Why convert between T1C (payload) and IDE (UDMA mode 2)?
-
This conversion helps compare telecommunications data rates with legacy PC storage speeds for evaluation, benchmarking, and troubleshooting across different technologies.
-
Can this conversion be used for exact performance measurement?
-
No, this conversion offers theoretical comparison and does not reflect actual throughput affected by hardware and protocol factors.
Key Terminology
-
T1C (payload)
-
