For the gory details, see this Wikipedia article on Optical Carrier transmission rates. This handy calculator will let us do all sorts of what if comparisons and that particular “calculator” link will convert 22.6 MB/s (the estimated transfer rate cited in the report) into the following chart.Īs you can see it is at about the 20% level of a 1 Gb/s local area network (LAN), which is typical of many enterprise/SOHO wired (LAN) networks, and as far as “carriers” go, some form of “optical link” will be required. Those two measures of transfer can be confused with each other, and there are articles on the Internet that discuss this topic, for example here and here. Some reviewers have confused this notation with “Mb/s”, or mega bits per second often quoted by ISP’s. “MB/s” refers to Mega Bytes per second where “Mega” is one million (1,000,000). In the Guccifer 2.0 NGP/VAN Metadata Analysis report. Some reviewers have asked about the use of “MB/s” as a measure of transfer speed. The bottom line is that the rate drops dramatically when packets have to transit large distances (even without factoring in the use of a VPN, or going trans Atlantic) – the transfer speeds dropped from 14 MB/s to 2MB/s.ĭetailed test results are documented in the blog entry, The Need for Speed. UPDATE (): This blog entry has been updated with additional information which documents actual transfer rates seen when targeting both a close US host and another domestic US host located on the opposite coast.
