Jime234 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I have wireless Broadband with 384kbps plan (i.e. 48kBps)I have a software named "NetTraffic" which displays the internet speed..So my Query is that even when at full download speed (i.e. 48kBps) NetTraffic never showed traffic speed as 48kBps or 384kbps ....So I checked the settings of "NetTraffic" .It had a section called Basic units:It had :Amount of data : (in drop-down) > iB, B, ib, bDate rate : (in drop-down) > iB/s, B/s, ib/s, b/sI Tried every combination of it .. still I never got 48kBps or 384kbps displayedI know that b = bits , B = Bytes. 8b = 1B.I don't know what "iB" or "ib" is :( !! I googled it but no luck there..Will any1 please explain this to me.. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hihello Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Check Binary multiples of bytes in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jime234 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Check Binary multiples of bytes in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_unitsBut What about "ib or iB" ??? :wtf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hihello Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Check Binary multiples of bytes in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_unitsBut What about "ib or iB" ??? :wtf:I didn't find much information about that.You can set Amount of data to "B" and Data rate to "B/s" . Then it will show speed in kB/s.It showed my download speed correctly with this settings.I will post later if I find more information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But NetTraffic shows a constant about 100 kB/s (instead of 48kBps or 384kbps) :rolleyes: That's what I don't understand !! :wtf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr3y Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 The Check Binary multiples of bytes in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_unitsBut What about "ib or iB" ??? :wtf:I came across KiB, MiB and etc but not ib/iB.The way I look at it is you are talking about binary in powers of 2's you should use the definition of binary prefixes as defined by the IEC (http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html) and in powers of 10's use SI definition. I think it's their way of saying the data are shown using both binary prefixes and SI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But dont know what it is usefull for or not.. :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
