Network Bandwidth

Network speed is measured in bits per second(bps)
File sizes are specified in Bytes


Network speed of 1Mbps  -> 125,000Bps(Byes per second) can transfer a 1 MB file in 8 seconds
Network speed of 10Mbps  -> 1,250,000Bps(Byes per second) can transfer a 1 MB file in 0.8 seconds
Network speed of 100Mbps  -> 12,500,000Bps(Byes per second) can transfer a 1 MB file in 0.08 seconds

Converting Megabits per second(Mbps) to Bytes per second(Bps)

(Mbps * 1,000,000) / 8 = Bps
