Packets Per Second Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the Packets Per Second.
PPS = TR / PS
- Where PPS is the packets per second
- TR is the transfer rate (bytes/second)
- PS is the packet size (bytes/packet)
To calculate the packets per second, divide the transfer rate in bytes per second by the packet size in bytes.
What is a Packets Per Second?
Definition:
A packet per second is a unit of measure of data transfer expressed in terms of packets. These packets can be of varying sizes depending on the application.
How to Calculate Packets Per Second?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate Packets Per Second.
First, determine the transfer rate. For this example, the transfer rate is 100,000 bytes/second.
Next, determine the packet size. In this case, the packet size is 50 bytes.
Finally, calculate the packets per second using the formula above:
PPS = TR / PS
PPS = 100,000 / 50
PPS = 2000 packets per second
