Ethernet Constants – IEEE 802.3

10Mbps 100Mbps 1Gbps 10Gbps
Bit/time .1μs .01μs (10ns) 1ns .1ns
Byte/time .8μs .08μs (80ns) 8ns .8ns
Inter-Pkt Gap* 9.6μs .96μs 96ns 9.6ns
Preamble** 6.4μs .64μs 64ns 6.4ns

*Inter Packet Gap = 96 bits / 12 bytes
**Preamble = 64 bits / 8 bytes

Max Pkt per second = #bps / (pkt size + IPG + Preamble) * 8
