I've always assumed that the gigabit in GbE meant 1000Mbps.
But https://www.wireguard.com/performance/ shows numbers higher than that, and https://blog.ipfire.org/post/why-not-wireguard, which criticizes the methodology of the first link, also seems to assume 1024Mbps?

1 Gb is 125 Megabytes or 1000 Megabits
1 GB is 1000 Megabytes or 8000 Megabits
GB means "Gigabyte" and Gb means "Gigabit" different things,
I guess my question is more about gigabit versus gibibit, if that makes any sense.
@casualwp 1 gibibyte is 2^30 bytes about ~1,073 megabytes.
Yeah, but since the G in GbE stands for gigabit, I've always assumed it to be 1000Mb/s. So I have no idea where the >1000 numbers in the links come from :/
No 1 GbE is theoretical maximum of 1000 Mb not 1024..
1024 is used in some contexts incorrectly, but this isnt one of them.
oh that's interesting. 🤨
