29. The answer is all in the “bits”
Network transport happens in bits/sec
1010110010010010110110000101001
Storage is different? Use Bytes
1 byte (B) storage = 8 bits
 How much a network can
transport (or store) is
more about what the
content requirements are!
 Voice
 Image
 Data
 Real-time video
 Combinations of these
require more bandwidth
