The min network packet size is 64 bytes, so if they are bundling several small packets into one pseudo jumbo packet and handling it that way, something only using the same manufacturer switch could do as this would be propriety networking, then that could explain their calculations on their webpage.
The data is streamed within time slots, which is why cable lengths of Cat<=5 cable can not be longer than 100 metres @ 100Hz. Cat 6 is 55metres at 250Hz.
I dont know what their switch internal workings are, you'll have to ask them why they have quoted that speed, but I know some switches also have built in fibre network connections, as invariably with a network switch with many ports, you could get a queue of packets for one port so there must be some sort of buffering inside a switch to handle and minimise these situations.
It is only "clockwork" electrical pulses at the end of the day.
- bogomipz 4y agoThis is all complete gibberish. Packets per second is based on the lower bound and Jumbo Frames denotes an MTU or upper bound. Further switches don't aggregate smaller Ethernet frames into Jumbo frames. Packet per second also has zero to do with an Ethernet cable's length. PPS is the "forwarding rate" of the switch which is distinct from the bandwidth of a switch's backplane or switching fabric. Again switching bandwidth and forwarding Bandwidth are two different things. There is also no need for me to "ask them why they have quoted that speed", that's standard with hardware vendors for PPS.
