autistic complaining about units

ok so like I don't know if I've ever seen a more confusing use of units . at least you haven't used the p infix instead of the / in bandwith units .

like you used both upper case and lowercase in units but like I can't say if it was intentional or not ? especially as the letter that is uppercased should be uppercased ?

anyway

1Mb

is theoretically correct but you likely ment either one megabyte (1 MB) or one megibyte (MiB) rather than one megabit (1 Mb)

~325mb/s

95mb/s

and

9mb/s

I will presume you did not intend to write ~325 milibits per second , but ~325 megabits per seconds , though if you have used the 333 333 request count as in the segment you quoted , though to be fair op also made a mistake I think , the number they gave should be 3 exabits per second (3 Eb/s) or 380 terabytes per seconds (TB/s) , but that's because they calculated the number of requests you can make from a 1 gigabit (which is what I assume they ment by gbit) wrong , forgetting to account that a byte is 8 bits , you can only make 416 666 of 4 kB (sorry I'm not checking what would happen if they ment kibibytes sorry I underestimated how demanding this would be but I'm to deep in it now so I'm gonna take that cop-out) requests a second , giving 380 terabits per second (380 Tb/s) or 3.04 terabytes per second (3.04 TB/s) , assuming the entire packet is exactly 114 megabytes (114 MB) which is about 108.7 megibytes (108.7 MiB) . so anyway

packet size theoretical bandwidth
1 Mb 416.7 Gb/s 52.1 GB/s
1 MB 3.3 Tb/s 416.7 GB/s
1 MiB 3.3 Tb/s 416.7 GB/s
300 kb 125.0 Gb/s 15.6 GB/s
300 kB 1000.0 Gb/s 125.0 GB/s
300 kiB 1000.0 Gb/s 125.0 GB/s
30 kb 12.5 Gb/s 1.6 GB/s
30 kB 100.0 Gb/s 12.5 GB/s
30 kiB 100.0 Gb/s 12.5 GB/s

hope that table is ok and all cause im in a rush yeah bye
