0 votes 0 votes While solving numerical problems of computer networks, I saw bandwidth of 1Kbps was taken as 1000bps. I was getting wrong answers as I was calculating using 1024bps. What is reason for taking K as 1000 and not 1024 in bandwidth?

Whenever the data is traveling take it in power of 10, whenever the data is stored take it in 2 power. 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
