This record speed of 6.63Gbps is equivalent to transferring a full-length DVD movie in four seconds 9G is full DVD length, right? 9/6,63 is lot less than four... would say, really close to 1,3s _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	no. got me wrong. if it takes the normal size, around 4-6G, it will be transferred in 1 seconds. if the maximum available size used (9G) it will take less than 2 seconds. so what is that estimate all about? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

A rule of thumb is that to transmit 8 raw bits the equivalent of 10 transmission bits are needed. Thus, assuming 4GByte per DVD movie, you'd have 6-7 seconds for the transmittal. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

I don't really think the 10 bit word applies here. That is normally just for async serial protocols. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well, to really use my calc and count, say you have 9G disc with full of video data. taken that media size is not really 9GB but 9 billion bytes and that the media can hold approx only 8,5G it comes to 68 billion bits. which on turn comes to 10 seconds of transmission time, taken that the wire can transfer that 6,6G/s all the time without slowing down. and yes, I wasn't thinking that B/b [censored] at first. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well, I'm not. they all ready had small networks around 1996-98 that transferred 30G per sec just fine. where are those gone? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

If we make a salad of all this we have "future". _________________________ Life is fine.
