......@@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ Here is a comparison table between the two standards:
|G|$`10^9`$|Ti|$`2^{30}`$|1.073|
|T|$`10^{12}`$|Gi|$`2^{40}`$|1.100|
A common problem with these unit prefixes is that they are equated to metric prefixes, however, for larger units the difference between prefixes grows substantially as indicated in the fifth column of the table, which shows the ratio between the different corresponding prefix values. Lesson to learn, do not equate these prefixes!
A common problem with these unit prefixes is that they are equated to metric prefixes, however, for larger units the difference between prefixes grows substantially as indicated in the fifth column of the table, which shows the ratio of binary prefix value to the corresponding metric prefix value. Lesson to learn, do not equate these prefixes! A 7.3% difference may not seem like a lot but when benchmarking connections it can be the difference between the value you expect and the one Linktest returns.
