This paragraph states that a gigbit connection should allow the transmission of 1GB of data every second. Based on the authors rules of terminology (page 37, "Bits and Bytes), "B" refers to "bytes" and "b" refers to bits. Therefore, the correct (or at least consistent) terminology would be "transmission of 1 Gb of data". |
