Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Mbps and MB/s?

A megabit is 1/8 of a megabyte. 8 Mbps equals 1 MB/s, so divide the Mbps figure by 8 to get the equivalent MB/s throughput.

Should I plan for peak or average bandwidth?

Always plan for peak demand, not average. Sustained transfers need extra headroom because real links rarely achieve their nominal maximum throughput.
