It may surprise you to learn that more bandwidth does not necessarily mean higher effective WAN throughput. If you transfer a lot of data over a high-capacity WAN, we bet you are not getting the ...

I recently sat through a presentation where an analyst said that 802.11n wouldn’t be that successful because it offers on the order of 100Mbit/sec., and “no one needs that kind of performance.” I ...

IOPS, latency and throughput/bandwidth are all interconnected. IOPS = (Throughput / Block Size) * 1024 Throughput in MBps = (IOPS * Block Size) / 1024 I understand how to convert IOPS to throughput ...

There was an interesting discussion over in one of the Cisco forums on how to calculate your WAN speed. Those of you who read my last post know that packet loss, latency, and bandwidth all play into ...

Depending on the device, more signal can now be transmitted. However, this only helps with a compatible counterpart.
