1000 Gbps equals 1 terabit per second (Tbps).

Few technologies for Tbps speed networking exist today.

you’re free to do the calculations yourself manually or use any of a number of online calculators.

For example, you’re able to convert Kbps to Mbps with those rules.

So 15,000 Kbps = 15 Mbps because there are 1,000 kilobits in each 1 megabit.

CheckYourMathis a cool calculator that supports data rate conversions if you want to try them on your own.
