比特率单位：KBPS，MBP和GBPS - 乐动体育投注备用网址

网络连接的数据速率通常以每秒位单位为单位进行测量，通常缩写为BPS而不是B/S。网络设备制造商对最大网络进行评分带宽使用KBPS，MBP和GBPS的标准单位对其产品进行支持。

这些有时被称为互联网速度单元，因为随着网络速度的增加，以数千（千），数百万（Mega-）或数十亿（GIGA-）单位表达它们更容易。

定义

由于kilo-意味着一千个值，因此用来表示该组的最低速度：

一kilobit每秒等于每秒1,000位。有时将其写成KBP，KB/SEC或KB/S，但所有这些都具有相同的含义。
一megabitper second equals 1000 Kbps or one million bps. It's also expressed as Mbps, Mb/sec, and Mb/s.
每秒1千兆位等于1000 Mbps，100万Kbps或10亿BP。它也被缩写为Gbps，GB/sec和GB/s。

避免位点和字节之间的混乱

出于历史原因，有时显示磁盘驱动器的数据速率和其他一些非网络计算机设备bytesper second (Bps with an uppercase B) rather than bits per second (bps with a lowercase 'b').

one KBps equals one kilobyte per second
一个Mbps等于每秒一个兆字节
一个Gbps等于每秒千兆字节

Because one byte equals eight bits, converting these ratings to the corresponding lowercase 'b' form can be done simply multiplying by 8:

一个Kbps等于8 kbps
一个Mbps等于8 Mbps
one GBps equals 8 Gbps

To avoid confusion between bits and bytes, networking professionals always refer to network connection speeds in terms of bps (lowercase 'b') ratings.

Speed Ratings of Common Network Equipment

Network gear with Kbps speed ratings tends to be older and low-performance by modern standards.老的拨号modems supported data rates up to 56 Kbps, for example.

Most network equipment features Mbps speed ratings.

家庭互联网连接的范围从低价值（例如1 Mbps）到100 Mbps，甚至更高
802.11gWi-Fi连接率为54 Mbps
年龄较大以太网100 Mbps的连接率
802.11n150 Mbps，300 Mbps和更高增量的Wi-Fi连接率

High-end gear features Gbps speed rating:

千兆以太网supports 1 Gbps
骨干network links that feed internet providers and cell towers support several Gbps

Gbps之后发生了什么？

1000 Gbps equals 1 terabit per second (Tbps). Few technologies for Tbps speed networking exist today.

这Internet2项目已经开发了TBPS连接以支持其实验网络，一些行业公司还建立了测试台并成功展示了TBPS链接。

Due to the high cost of the equipment and challenges to operating such a network reliably, expect it will be many more years before these speed levels become practical for general use.
