More elaborate explanation on item 74 #89

Open ricky-lim opened 4 years ago

Hi Brett,

I was reading this paragraph on your book for item 74.

"It took roughly 5 milliseconds to extract the 20 MB slice of data to transmit to the client. That means the overall throughput of my server is limited to a theoretical maximum of 20 MB / 5 milliseconds = 7.3 GB / second"

I don't quite understand how to get the theoretical maximum of 7.3 GB / second. Could you elaborate on this, please?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,

Ricky Lim

Hopefully by now you figured out this was a typo! Fixed this and another issue like that elsewhere in the same item. Thank you for the report!
