Only thing the formula needs to take into account as well is that most vendors calculate bi-directional speed (i.e. a 1Gbps ethernet port would be counted as 2 Gbps since we can Tx and Rx simultaneously... rombout Sat, 30 Jan 2010 16:17:41 +0100 http://ccievault.net/index.php/articles/37-cvnarticles/58-bps2pps#comment-8 dumb.. niwa Sat, 03 Oct 2009 23:49:20 +0100 http://ccievault.net/index.php/articles/37-cvnarticles/58-bps2pps#comment-6 Steve, "(don't forget to calculate your CRC on top of that that adds 4 bytes, so it is really 68 bytes) " Ethernet Header and Trailer is 18 bytes. DMAC = 6Bytes. SMAC = 6Bytes. Length = 2Bytes. CRC = 4Bytes. For a frame to be valid, 46Bytes of payload is minimum to construct a 64Byte frame. You dont need to add 4Bytes to make it 68Bytes.

You use the 1024 number when you convert to/from bits to bytes. See reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobits http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit Jackson Lancaster Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:20:00 +0100 http://ccievault.net/index.php/articles/37-cvnarticles/58-bps2pps#comment-4 The formula is very basic; 1 byte (B) = 8 bits (b) 1 Kilobit (Kb) = 1024 bits 1 Megabit (Mb) = 1024 Kb or 1,048,576 bits 1 Gigabit (Gb) = 1024 Mb or 1,048,576 Kb or 1,073,741,842 bits ect. So 10,000 packets per second of 64 byte packets (don't forget to calculate your CRC on top of that that adds 4 bytes, so it is really 68 bytes) is as follows; 68 bytes x 8 = 544 bits 10000 packets per second x 544 bits per packet = 5,440,000 bits per second 5440000 bits per second / 1024 bits per kilobits = 5,312.5 Kbps 5312.5 Kbps /1024 Kb/Mb = 5.18798828125 Mbps Steve Sat, 27 Dec 2008 09:08:15 +0100 http://ccievault.net/index.php/articles/37-cvnarticles/58-bps2pps#comment-3 I'll second the request for the formula. david Thu, 18 Dec 2008 16:41:48 +0100 http://ccievault.net/index.php/articles/37-cvnarticles/58-bps2pps#comment-2 great work, it would be great if you can list the formula used against pps to bps. john Fri, 28 Nov 2008 14:47:14 +0100
