Frequently Asked Questions

It divides total data size (GB, TB) by allocated network throughput (Mbps, Gbps), accounting for protocol overhead, to calculate exact transfer duration.

Network latency, TCP window scaling, packet loss, disk I/O bottlenecks, and intermediate routing congestion reduce real-world transfer throughput below nominal port speeds.

Network throughput is measured in bits (Mbps), while file sizes use bytes (MB). Since 1 byte = 8 bits, 100 Mbps equals 12.5 MB/s maximum transfer rate.
