RESEARCH 》 Communication data network standards and data transfer speeds :: Chart

Here is a complete chart comprising popular communication data network standards and their respective transfer rates. I hope this reference chart will help network engineers and network software developers while performing networking tests and experiments, building WAN/network products, building WAN simulated networks of a specific standard and so on. This may also helps us to track technological advancements of communication data networks.

For example if you choose to build an experimental 4G Mobile WAN network with WAN Simulator's (such as TOFFEE-Mocha) 100/1000Mbps Ethernet ports, you can refer this chart and configure your WAN Emulator device.
