What is the fall off of subsecond throughput on Ethernet Network Interfaces
- by Kyle Brandt
On a network interface, speeds are given in term of data over time, in particular, they are bits per second. However, in the uber-fast world of computing -- a second is kind of a really long time.
So for example, given a linear falloff. A 1 GBit per second interface would do 500MBit per half second, 250Mbit per quarter second etc.
I imagine at…
