I recently sat through a presentation where an analyst said that 802.11n wouldn’t be that successful because it offers on the order of 100Mbit/sec., and “no one needs that kind of performance.” I ...

IOPS, latency and throughput/bandwidth are all interconnected. IOPS = (Throughput / Block Size) * 1024 Throughput in MBps = (IOPS * Block Size) / 1024 I understand how to convert IOPS to throughput ...

I have a customer who just installed a 100Mb private WAN connection from a remote office. He has a Cisco 1841 running 12.4 at the remote end and a Cisco 3945 running 15.x on the other end. Is there a ...
