If I remember right from a book on USB2 the protocol overhead was below 10%, the problem here is that something/s between each side are not capable of maintaining the full throughput.<br />Same about Wifi, protocol overhead is not so high at all, however external factors like RF interference, distance, etc. may yield those numbers.Gallandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766730761074080091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487105202596390783.post-60341896309224450272014-03-08T14:59:27.568+01:002014-03-08T14:59:27.568+01:00Great article, thanks for sharing!
But in your mat...Great article, thanks for sharing!<br />But in your math you forgot to take in account the overhead every protocol has.<br />USB is 480Mbps, but for disks the performance is exactly what you got: about 30MB/s<br />In Wi-Fi, even if the theorical speed is 300Mbps, in real life if will be around 120Mbps of useful bandwidth. In 150Mbps you can get something around 70Mbps. <br />I know, your point still stands, just to clarify.<br />John Aikenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863025475579715876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487105202596390783.post-919519741716899292014-01-02T09:52:15.517+01:002014-01-02T09:52:15.517+01:00can i install xbmc(openelec) for redxa rock ? can i install xbmc(openelec) for redxa rock ?
