Kilobits per second (kbps) is a common unit for measuring data transfer rates. It quantifies the amount of digital information transmitted or received per second. It plays a crucial role in determining the speed and efficiency of digital communications, such as internet connections, data storage, and multimedia streaming. Let's delve into its definition, formation, and applications.
Kilobits per second (kbps) is a unit of data transfer rate, representing one thousand bits (1,000 bits) transmitted or received per second. It is a common measure of bandwidth, indicating the capacity of a communication channel.
Kbps is derived from the base unit "bits per second" (bps). The "kilo" prefix represents a factor of 1,000 in decimal (base-10) or 1,024 in binary (base-2) systems.
Important Note: While technically a kilobit should be 1000 bits according to SI standard, in computer science it is almost always referred to 1024. Please keep this in mind while reading the rest of the article.
The difference between base-10 and base-2 often causes confusion. In networking and telecommunications, base-10 (1 kbps = 1,000 bits/second) is generally used. In computer memory and storage, base-2 (1 kbps = 1,024 bits/second) is sometimes used.
However, the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) recommends using "kibibit" (kibit) with the symbol "Kibit" when referring to 1024 bits, to avoid ambiguity. Similarly, mebibit, gibibit, tebibit, etc. are used for , , bits respectively.
You can use kbps to calculate the time required to transfer a file:
For example, to transfer a 2,000 kilobit file over a 500 kbps connection:
Claude Shannon is considered the "father of information theory." His work laid the groundwork for understanding data transmission rates and channel capacity. Shannon's theorem defines the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a communication channel with a specified bandwidth in the presence of noise. For further reading on this you can consult this article on Shannon's Noisy Channel Coding Theorem.
Here's a breakdown of what Tebibits per hour is, its formation, and some related context:
Tebibits per hour (Tibit/h) is a unit used to measure data transfer rate or network throughput. It specifies the number of tebibits (Ti) of data transferred in one hour. Because data is often measured in bits and bytes, understanding the prefixes and base is crucial. This is important because storage is based on power of 2.
To understand Tebibits per hour, we need to break down its components:
The fundamental unit of information in computing and digital communications. It represents a binary digit, which can be either 0 or 1.
Tebi is a binary prefix meaning . It's important to differentiate this from "tera" (T), which is a decimal prefix (base 10) meaning . Using the correct prefix (tebi- vs. tera-) avoids ambiguity. NIST defines prefixes in detail.
A unit of time.
Therefore, 1 Tebibit per hour (Tibit/h) represents bits of data transferred in one hour.
It's crucial to understand the distinction between base 2 (binary) and base 10 (decimal) prefixes in computing. While "tera" (T) is commonly used in marketing to describe storage capacity (and often interpreted as base 10), the "tebi" (Ti) prefix is the correct IEC standard for binary multiples.
This difference can lead to confusion, as a device advertised with "1 TB" of storage might actually have slightly less usable space when formatted due to the operating system using binary calculations.
While Tebibits per hour isn't a commonly cited metric in everyday conversation, here are some hypothetical scenarios to illustrate its magnitude:
