  2. Hard disk drive performance characteristics - Wikipedia

    The latter will increase the data transfer rate for a given RPM speed. Improvement of data transfer rate performance is correlated to the areal density only by increasing a track's linear surface bit density (sectors per track). Simply increasing the number of tracks on a disk can affect seek times but not gross transfer rates.

  3. Transfers per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfers_per_second

    The formula for a data transfer rate is: Channel width (bits/transfer) × transfers/second = bits/second. Expanding the width of a channel, for example that between a CPU and a northbridge , increases data throughput without requiring an increase in the channel's operating frequency (measured in transfers per second).

  4. Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling

    Limiting the speed of data sent by a data originator (a client computer or a server computer) is much more efficient than limiting the speed in an intermediate network device between client and server because while in the first case usually no network packets are lost, in the second case network packets can be lost / discarded whenever ingoing data speed overcomes the bandwidth limit or the ...

  5. Network performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_performance

    Bandwidth commonly measured in bits/second is the maximum rate that information can be transferred; Throughput is the actual rate that information is transferred; Latency the delay between the sender and the receiver decoding it, this is mainly a function of the signals travel time, and processing time at any nodes the information traverses

  6. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

    People are often concerned about measuring the maximum data throughput in bits per second of a communications link or network access. A typical method of performing a measurement is to transfer a 'large' file from one system to another system and measure the time required to complete the transfer or copy of the file.

  7. Network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_throughput

    The system throughput or aggregate throughput is the sum of the data rates that are delivered over all channels in a network. [1] Throughput represents digital bandwidth consumption. The throughput of a communication system may be affected by various factors, including the limitations of the underlying physical medium, available processing ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11n-2009

    The purpose of the standard is to improve network throughput over the two previous standards—802.11a and 802.11g—with a significant increase in the maximum net data rate from 54 Mbit/s to 72 Mbit/s with a single spatial stream in a 20 MHz channel, and 600 Mbit/s (slightly higher gross bit rate including for example error-correction codes ...

  9. 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 ...
