B.Ob. Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Just to confirm my calculations: How much time would it take to transfer a 5Meg file over a 768kbit connection? Do not consider tcp/ip overhead, etc. Assumse it is a pure connection with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan4Life Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 first: kbs = (5*1024 / 768) then: harware = (prossor speed*bus speed*memory speed/60)/100) making kbs +hardware..... screw it i got nothing all matters on quality of lines routers, route of packets, isp server, nic settings, software/os running and distance so 2-4 min estimate cuase its not a perfect world damn that OSI model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsbrat Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I said less than 10 seconds :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan4Life Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 well in easy terms (5*1024)/768 = 6.67 seconds in pure transfer if connection is a steady 768kbs but the ussual speeds ive seen on the net of about 128kbs without prosess time still 40 seconds of pure data transfer but adding one second per 256kb for encapulation and processing and decapslution and assembly, and other steps of the osi model still 1 min of transfer time and also ping time witch is inseffect for error checking (lost ,bad a damaged packets) every 10 ping 1 second per (a freaking number i cant rember)mb id say 1:10 on lan 1:20 across ny, 1:40 across the us and 2:10 from asia if downloading from wny 6:45 if eather computer goes down cause of user error and if any of you call this a bluff i agree, but its a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 The file size is in bytes, the connection speed is in bits 1 byte = 8 bits so you'll have to add that to your calculation time = filesize/speed (you had this part correct!!) where: time = seconds filesize = kbits speed = kb per second I'll have to dig my sheet back out, but I came up with roughly 54 seconds.

PurSuiT Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Why must they play with our minds like this? FIOS (FTTP) from Verizon $39.95 for 5MB/2MB, $49.95 for 15MB/2MB, and $199.95 for 30MB/5MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
