List of device bandwidths

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of device bandwidths: the channel capacity (or, more informally, bandwidth) of some computer devices employing methods of data transport is listed by bit/s, kilobit/s (kbit/s), megabit/s (Mbit/s), or gigabit/s (Gbit/s) as appropriate and also MB/s or megabytes per second. They are listed in order from lowest bandwidth to highest.

Whether to use bit/s or byte/s (B/s) is often a matter of convention. The most commonly cited measurement is bolded. In general, parallel interfaces are quoted in byte/s (B/s), serial in bit/s. On devices like modems, bytes may be more than 8 bits long because they may be individually padded out with additional start and stop bits; the figures below will reflect this. Where channels use line codes, such as Ethernet, Serial ATA and PCI Express, quoted speeds are for the decoded signal.

Many of these figures are theoretical maxima, and various real-world considerations will generally keep the actual effective throughput much lower. The actual throughput achievable on Ethernet networks, for example (especially when heavily loaded or when running over substandard media), is debatable. The figures are also simplex speeds, which may conflict with the duplex speeds vendors sometimes use in promotional materials.

All of the figures listed here are true metric quantities and not binary prefixes (1 kilobit, for example, is 1000 bits, not 1024 bits). Similarly, kB, MB, GB mean kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, not kibibytes, mebibytes, gibibytes.

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ TTY uses a Baudot code, not ASCII. This uses 5 bits per character instead of 8, and one start and 1.5 stop bits.
  2. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q Modems assumed to run set as serial, 1 start bit, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit: therefore 10 bits are needed to transmit each 8-bit byte. Therefore, the byte column reflects the net data transfer rate after the protocol overhead has been removed
  3. ^ a b 110 baud modems run set with two stop bits. Assuming serial operation with one start bit, no parity, and 8 data bits as with other modems, this totals 11 bits per byte transferred.
  4. ^ a b c d 56K modems: V.90 and V.92 capacity can only be achieved when the upstream (service provider) end of the connection is digital. In addition, certain telecommunications administrations limit the signal strength the modem can transmit onto the telecommunications circuit, which in turn limits the actual maximum data rate to less than the theoretical maximum. In the USA, this limited the possible downstream maximum to 53.3 kbit/s.
  5. ^ Note that effective aggregate bandwidth for an ISDN installation is typically higher than the rates shown for a single channel due to the use of multiple channels. A basic rate interface (BRI) provides 2 'B' channels and one 'D' channel. Each B channel provides 64 kbit/s bandwidth and the 'D' channel carries signalling (call setup) information. B channels can be bonded to provide a 128 kbit/s data rate. Primary rate interfaces (PRI) vary depending on whether the region uses E1 (Europe, world) or T1 (North America) bearers. In E1 regions, the PRI carries 30 B-channels and 1 D-channel; in T1 regions the PRI carries 23 B-channels and 1 D-channel. The D-channel has different bandwidth on the two interfaces.

  7. ^ The Zorro II bus use 4 clocks per 16-Bit of data transferred. See the Zorro III technical specification for more information.
  8. ^ a b c d e f Note that PCI Express lanes use an 8B/10B encoding scheme.
  9. ^ a b c d Note that these Infiniband performance figures, as with most one tends to read, are given as full-duplex combined (or "aggregated") speeds, which effectively doubles InfiniBand's numbers as compared to the simplex numbers usually quoted for other standards. Also, InfiniBand uses an 8B/10B encoding scheme.
  10. ^ a b PCIe 2.0 effectively doubles the bus standard's bandwidth from 2.5 Gbit/s to 5 Gbit/s
  11. ^ SATA and SAS use an 8B/10B encoding scheme.
  12. ^ Fibre Channel 1GFC, 2GFC, 4GFC use an 8B/10B encoding scheme.
  13. ^ Fibre Channel 10GFC uses a 64B/66B encoding scheme, is not compatible with 1GFC, 2GFC and 4GFC, and is used only to interconnect switches.
  14. ^ FireWire (IEEE 1394b) uses an 8B/10B coding scheme.
  15. ^ Satellite internet may have a high bandwidth but also has a high latency due to the distance between the modem, satellite and hub. One-way satellite connections exist where all the downstream traffic is handled by satellite and the upstream traffic by land-based connections such as 56K modems and ISDN.
  16. ^ Actual frame relay connections will vary in throughput from 8 kbit/s to 45 Mbit/s depending on configuration. Most are commonly below 2 Mbit/s.
  17. ^ ADSL connections will vary in throughput from 64 kbit/s to several Mbit/s depending on configuration. Most are commonly below 2 Mbit/s. Some ADSL & SDSL connections have a higher bandwidth than T1 but their bandwidth is not guaranteed, and will drop when the system gets overloaded where as the T1 type connections are usually guaranteed and have no contention ratios.
  18. ^ DOCSIS 1.0 includes technology which first became available around 1995-1996, and has since become very widely deployed. DOCSIS 1.1 introduces some security improvements and Quality-of-Service (QoS).
  19. ^ DOCSIS 2.0 specifications provide increased upstream throughput for symmetric services.
  20. ^ DOCSIS 3.0 is currently in development by the CableLabs consortium and is slated to include support for channel bonding and IPv6.
