	What is Mbps? - a definition from Whatis.com
		Mbps stands for millions of bits per second or megabits per second and is a measure of bandwidth (the total information flow over a given time) on a telecommunications medium.
		Depending on the medium and the transmission method, bandwidth is also sometimes measured in the Kbps (thousands of bits or kilobits per second) range or the Gbps (billions of bits or gigabits per second) range.
		Megabits per second is usually shortened to Mbps.

		If you were to put this tape in a camera or recorder that records 25 Megabits per second (assuming it fit), you can be confident that the tape will last as long as the number of minutes printed on the front of the cassette.
		A 50 Megabit per second recorder moves the tape across the heads twice as fast as a 25 Megabit per second recorder.
		The 100 Megabit per second recorder moves the tape at 4 times the speed as a 25 megabit per second recorder.

	Megabit per second - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A megabit per second (Mbit/s or Mbps) is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 1,000,000 bits per second or 1,000 kilobits per second.
		8 Megabits per second is equivalent to 1 Megabyte per second (ie.
		Hence 1 Megabits per second = 0.125 Megabyte per second (ie.

	TechNotes
		By allowing for bursts of up to 10 megabits per second, the DVD specification takes into account the need for short bursts in the data rate to accommodate complex scenes where additional I-frames or higher overall bit allocation are necessary to prevent visible e compression artifacts.
		At an average bit rate of 4.7 megabits per second, that leaves approximately 3.5 megabits per second that is dedicated entirely to reproducing the video image.
		At an average bit rate of 10 megabits per second, a DVD disc can produce a picture quality that is nearly the equivalent of a studio master tape---the medium from which all pre-recorded software is produced--.

	Bitrate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In digital multimedia, bitrate is the number of bits used per unit of time to represent a continuous medium such as audio or video after source coding (data compression).
		The bit rate is quantified using the 'bit per second' (bit/s or bps) unit, often in conjunction with a SI prefix such as kilo (kbit/s or kbps), Mega (Mbit/s or Mbps), Giga (Gbit/s or Gbps) or Tera (Tbit/s or Tbps).
		In less formal contexts the abbreviations "b/s" or "bps" are often used, though this risks confusion with "bytes per second" ("B/s", "Bps").

	Your best bet in faster LANs - SunWorld - October 1996
		If each stream has an upper limit of 100 gallons per second, and there are 50 of those streams entering the main channel, than the maximum flow into the main channel would be 5000 gallons per second.
		ATM at 622 megabits per second on the other hand is expected to cost about $4,200 per port in 1998.
		Once 100 megabits per second has become the predominate transport speed, move the backbone and transports to ATM if wide-area connectivity is the dominate network link.

	The Chronicle: 11/2/2001: Colleges Try to Figure Out How to Keep Bandwidth Costs Under Control
		A megabit is a million ones and zeros of binary data; megabits per second is the common way of measuring bandwidth.
		Bandwidth needs range from 3 to 9 megabits per second for smaller colleges to 45 to 90 megabits per second or more for larger research universities.
		One plus to buying more bandwidth is that the monthly cost per megabit per second drops somewhat as the volume used increases, he says.

	SSL Capacity Planning
		To determine the processor speed that is required to support the total aggregate traffic, multiply the megacycles per megabit, from the table in Step 4, by the total throughput, as measured in Step 3.
		For example, suppose that the kilobits per connection calculated in Step 2 is 200, the total aggregate throughput is 15 megabits, and you require ISA Server to perform SSL to SSL bridging.
		For example, suppose that you want to deploy ISA Server in an edge firewall scenario in which 40% of the 20 megabit per second peak traffic is transparent proxy, 35% is forward proxy, and 25% is SSL to SSL with 200 kilobits per connection.

		Typical speeds range upward from 384 kilobits per second (that is, 384 kbps) to 8 megabits per second (8,000 kbps) and even higher, depending on a variety of factors.
		They found that it is possible to transmit data at a rate of several megabits per second over two or three miles of copper and even more data over shorter distances.
		A single coaxial cable of the type used in the cable TV system can carry data at rates of hundreds of megabits per second, in part because the design of the cable shields it from interference.

	Mbps (Megabits Per Second) Definition
		Stands for "Megabits Per Second." One megabit is equal to one million bits or 1,000 kilobits.
		While "megabit" sounds similar to "megabyte," a megabit is roughly one eighth the size of a megabyte (since there are eight bits in a byte).
		Mbps is used to measure data transfer speeds of high bandwidth connections, such as Ethernet and cable modems.

		The G.dmt variety can download data at up to 8 Megabits per second, and send data upstream at up to 1.5 Megabits per second, if the modem is located within 10,000-12,000 feet of the phone company's CO (central office).
		It is based on ADSL, and offers downstream speeds up to 1.5 Megabits per second and a maximum upstream data rate of 384 Kilobits per second.
		It is symmetric, with a maximum 1.5 Megabits per second traveling both ways over two copper phone lines, or 2 Megabits per second over three phone lines.

	Swimming Upstream With Uploads - Technology
		But most broadband users are limited to 256 kilobits per second, and millions still chug along at 90 to 128 kilobits per second.
		In fact, many could even deliver up to 30 megabits per second per user, if customers were willing to pay for it.Cable uploads, on the other hand, are severely constrained by current technology.
		The first DSL version, which could become available as early as next year, offers download rates of up to 24 megabits per second (though in real-world deployments subscribes will probably get between 6 and 15 megabits per second, depending on their distance from the central office).

	The Shape of Days: H.264 changes everything … again (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Whereas MPEG-2 needs 20 to 25 megabits per second per channel for HDTV content, H.264 can do a superior job with as little as eight megabits per second, allowing providers to carry three times as many channels as they could with the older encoding technology.
		A picture 480 pixels high and a frame rate of 29.97 frames per second is exactly what you get when you turn on your standard-definition television.

	HOW DSL WORKS
		DSL connects your computer to the Internet at speeds as fast as 52 Megabits per second, using the copper lines that already bring you phone service.
		The DSL that Bell SOuth offers in Miami is called G-Lite or RADSL (Rate Adaptive DSL) and has a download speed of up to 1.5Mbps and an upload speed of up to 360Kbps, depending on how far away you are located from the C.O. of the telephone company.
		The DSLAM separates the voice from the data signals, sending the latter to an ISP (which is frequently the provider itself) and from there to the Internet at large.

	What do "Mbps" and "kbps" mean? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It is important to remember that the measurements for data transfer rates and file sizes are different.
		For instance, a transfer speed of 1 Mega bit per second will not download a 1 Megabyte file in 1 second.
		This is because their are 8 "bits" in 1 "byte", therefore at 1 Mega bit per second a 1 Megabyte file would theoretically take 8 seconds to download and so on.*
