  2. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

    Assuming your data cannot be compressed, the 8.192 seconds to transmit a 64 kilobyte file over a 64 kilobit/s communications link is a theoretical minimum time which will not be achieved in practice. This is due to the effect of overheads which are used to format the data in an agreed manner so that both ends of a connection have a consistent ...
