Talk:Classic Ethernet

Classic Ethernet
Is Classic Ethernet a term used by authoritative sources? This name is not mentioned in Ethernet. It is showing up a few places in a Google search] but not strong. I had suggested 10 megabit Ethernet. Earlier, sub 10 Mbit/s, incarnations are known as experimental Ethernet. ~Kvng (talk) 22:19, 13 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, e.g. in Buddy Shipley (2004): "Installer's Guide to Local Area Networks", Thomson Del Mar or in Bryan Carne (2004): "A Professional's Guide to Data Communication in a TCP/IP World", Artech House. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 22:33, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Mbit/s vs Mbps
Mbps is by far the most common way of abbreviating megabits per second. Shouldn't we use the WP:COMMONNAME even if it is not the ISO term. Volunteer1234 (talk) 21:26, 29 April 2019 (UTC)


 * WP generally prefers SI units like Mbit/s, check WP:UNITNAMES. --Zac67 (talk) 05:15, 30 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Agreed. And consistency, WP likes consistency. The WP:COMMONNAME assertion here is debatable in substance and debatable as to whether that policy applies outside article titles. ~Kvng (talk) 14:06, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
