Bandwidth and Speed Concepts [7:17917]

2001-08-30 Thread Shawn Xu
Hi, Everyone: Sometimes I am stupid, I could not tell clearly from these two things: bandwidth and speed. For example, T1 connection, we know the speed is 1.544Mbps, that means this line can transfer 1.544 Mega bits per second, this is speed. But what is bandwidth? I am working on bandwidth

In my mind speed is the clocking of the medium and bandwidth is the payload you can get accross said medium. For example you could set up an 45M ATM circuit and shape so that only 3M of bandwidth is used but that 3M if data is still clocking at 45M. Ethernet is 10M but you'll never get 10M
