Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 1 Gbps not 1 GB per second?
Network speeds are measured in bits (b), while file sizes are in bytes (B). 1 Byte = 8 bits, so 1 Gbps = 125 MB/s theoretical max.
Does this account for TCP overhead?
Yes, a 5% TCP/IP packet framing and handshake overhead is factored into all calculations.
