  2. Data-rate units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units

    The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...

    A data transmission speed 301 terabits per second was achieved by researchers at Aston University in the UK (Getty Images/iStockphoto) For comparison, the average broadband speed in the UK is 69.4 ...

  4. Bit rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate

    In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (bitrate or as a variable R) is the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time. [1]The bit rate is expressed in the unit bit per second (symbol: bit/s), often in conjunction with an SI prefix such as kilo (1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s), mega (1 Mbit/s = 1,000 kbit/s), giga (1 Gbit/s = 1,000 Mbit/s) or tera (1 Tbit/s = 1,000 Gbit/s). [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_traffic

    File sharing constitutes a fraction of Internet traffic. [2] The prevalent technology for file sharing is the BitTorrent protocol, which is a peer-to-peer (P2P) system mediated through indexing sites that provide resource directories. According to a Sandvine Research in 2013, Bit Torrent’s share of Internet traffic decreased by 20% to 7.4% ...

  6. Optical Carrier transmission rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Carrier...

    OC-48 is a network line with transmission speeds of up to 2488.32 Mbit/s (payload: 2405.376 Mbit/s (2.405376 Gbit/s); overhead: 82.944 Mbit/s). With relatively low interface prices, with being faster than OC-3 and OC-12 connections, and even surpassing gigabit Ethernet , OC-48 connections are used [ when? ] as the backbones of many regional ISPs.

    As of 2021, Japanese scientists transmitted 319 terabits per second over 3,000 kilometers with four-core fiber cables with standard cable diameter. [27] The focus of development for the fifth generation of fiber-optic communications is on extending the wavelength range over which a WDM system can operate.
