well guys this is all very interesting to see you fight over a
scientific fact but the whole reason we are even have this disscucion is
coz i have a problem and i quote
"i'm new to this and i've been reading this thread with interest as i
have a 128 kilobit upload and a 1 megabit download on my connection and
i want to run 8 players on my cs 1.6 server (currently
6) now my rates are set low to around 6000 but it get's really laggy
when 7 ppl are playing. I also have 2 computers on the same lan as the
server but it would seem that effects the lag to (as if they were
talkin to it from outside the network) now i would like to know what
value's i should use to try and compensate for the realitivly low
general connection speed. any thought's welcome but please try and be as
descriptive as you can. i need to know exactly what to do "
now can we get back to the point before i lose my temper again like i
did yesterday (i get mad when i'm tryin to learn and the teacher isn't
paying attention coz he/she is pleasuring him/herself when i'm nopt lookin)
cheers guys

It's not 1000MB or 1,000,000KB ect... Computers only work with powers of
2 so you get, 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128 ect.., it takes 8 bits to make a
byte. Thus 4 is 2 to the power of 2 in binary 4 would be 00100000.
A computer might store it like that (it transmitted it like that). But
4 in 8-bit binary un-encoded should surely by 00000100. Anyone for now
teaching endianess? Why not move onto a swift lesson on 2's complement
and IEE754 floats.
One
Byte is all 8 binary digits grouped together. So 1MB is actually 1048KB
which is 1,048,576 Bytes 2 to the power of 20. then you take that and
multiply that by 8 = 8,388,608 bits, which is all the ones and zeros
your modem has to transmit. KB and MB are just units of deviation like
millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer. For simplicity they just round
things down, especially because like Macleod said you get a little over
head in the data.
For the internet you can't have an IP digit greater than 255 because in
an 8 bit octet it's 11111111. thus an IP of 192.168.0.1 is
00000011.00010101.00000000.100000000 each place in the binary represents
the 1,2,4,8,32,64,124 so the first octet that's 192 says there is only
1-124 and 1-64 added together gives 192. So now you have had a brief
explanation on Binary and you understand a little bit of how those 1's
and 0's work in computers.
Thank you so much.

MB=mega byte Mb means mega bit ... thats where the confusion is its all
in the abreviation but clayton has it right as well as james just
diffeernt views but for the reasoning of the server I think its figured
in bits so clayton is altimatly right

I'll second what Clayton says... 1000000b/s is 1Mbps

sorry, but you're wrong. 1Mbps in terms of *network communication* is
always 1,000,000 bits, just like 1Kbps is always 1,000 bits.

Sorry, but I just want to verify, you do know those byte values are
wrong don't you?
1MB is 1024 KB which is 1048576 Bytes, which is 8388608 bits.
Gb->Mb->Kb always factors of 1024 different.
There are 8 bits in a byte.
1Mbps (bits per second, the standard measurement for most
telcommunications speeds)
1Mbps is capable of sending 1024kbps, which is 1048576 bits per
second.
128k is actually 131072 bits per second 16k is 16384 bits per second.
Rounded values are however good as they leave some space for
oversubscription / link control / protocol overhead.
Yeah, I couldn't recommend running a server on 16kbps up.
