Network Examples and Protocols - Formula Sheet
Protocol Address Space Formula
The total capacity of a network addressing protocol is governed by its bit allocation size:
S = 2n
Where:
- S represents the total size or capacity of the address space.
- n represents the number of bits allocated for addressing (for example, 32 bits for IPv4 or 128 bits for IPv6).
IEEE Wireless and Wired Standards
Network technologies are standardized under specific IEEE codifications:
- 802.11 represents Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN / Wi-Fi).
- 802.3 represents Wired Ethernet LAN standards.
- 802.5 represents Token Ring standards.
Data Transmission Rate Measurements
Standard conversions for digital data bandwidth capacities:
- 1 Kbps = 1,000 bits per second (kilobits).
- 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits per second (megabits).
- 1 Gbps = 1,000,000,000 bits per second (gigabits).
