Detailed explanation of Byte, bit, bps and Bps

There are some vague concepts encountered in the study, which need to be remembered.

What is bps?

Bps is the abbreviation of bits per second. Generally speaking, the transmission rate of network communication is based on "bps". Such as 14.4Kbps, 28.8Kbps, 56Kbps, 10Mbps and 100Mbps and so on.

What is Bps?

It is the abbreviation of Byte per second. Computers generally display speed in Bps, such as 1Mbps, which is about 128KBps.

What is bit? (abbreviated as b)

The basic unit of computer storage capacity, referring to a digit in a binary number with a value of 0 or 1.

What is Byte? (abbreviated as B)

Bytes are the basic unit in which a computer stores data. A Byte consists of 8 bits. Inside a computer, a Byte can represent a byte, a number, or a symbol (,.!% & +-* /), while two bytes can represent a Chinese character.

It is recommended that you remember the following conversion formula:

1B=8b 1B/s=8b/s (or 1Bps=8bps)

1KB=1024B 1KB/s=1024B/s

1MB=1024KB 1MB/s=1024KB/s
