Topgear please I need seeds... Thanx.
>From my perspective the definition of bandwidth and speed are
superficially the same. If you want to call speed, the link speed, which
is related to the symbol rate and you want to call bandwidth the
data-rate minus framing overhead ip overhead etc then I'm cool with
that. If you want to call what you're trying to measure achievable
maximum throughput then I think that's what your were trying to measure,
hence my previous question.
