3:35 PM What is Kbps, Mbps, Gbps? |
The data rate of a computer network connection is normally measured in units of bits per second (bps). Network equipment makers typically rate their products using related, larger units of Kbps, Mbps and Gbps.
- one kilobit per second (Kbps) equals 1024 bits per second (bps).
- one megabit per second (Mbps) equals 1024 Kbps or one million bps.
- one gigabit per second (Gbps) equals 1024 Mbps or one million Kbps or one billion bps.
Data rates for non-network equipment are sometimes shown in bytes per second (Bps) rather than bits per second. In those cases, - one KBps equals one kilobyte per second
- one MBps equals one megabyte per second, and
- one GBps equals one gigabyte per second
Finally, one kilobyte per second equals 8 kilobits per second. |
