Yes. Network speeds are absolute numbers, so they don't have to be rounded to the closest power of 2. On the other hand, memory has to be addressed bit-wise, so it must be produced (and addressed) in units that are a power of 2. Disk drives usually are read and written a block at a time, and it is more convenient to allocate a buffer on a power-of-2 boundary, so they are also described that way. > BTW, how does MRTG represent it ? is it Mbit/s or Mibit/s ? depends on what you have set for kilo[]: -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE #2495, CISSP #78281, CNX Austin Energy http://www.austinenergy.com
