Uplink and the downlink speeds
Today read "computer network top-down approach" when you see the two terms uplink rate and downlink rate Baidu a check to know
Uplink refers to a local server speed data transmission.
Downlink refers to the speed of data downloaded from the server, the downlink are determined in accordance with the magnitude of the broadband uplink are generally similar.
With white words:
Uplink rate: is the upload speed of the file.
Downlink rate: is the download speed of the file.
In addition, we often say that a few M download speed bandwidth and our actual use of the process is different, because the operators of computing unit is bit, while the unit is displayed when we actually download is Byte. which is:
- 1M bandwidth, operators said that the bit 1024k
- When we download stuff 1M means that the 1024k Byte
Since 1Byte = 8bit, resulting in the difference between the actual download several M broadband speeds.
The actual download speeds of 100M broadband in life only 100M / 8 = 12.5M
