The amount of data you can squeeze through a connection is often titled "bandwidth". You can test network bandwidth with iperf.
Here's a list of select link speeds in bit/s and byte/s for comparison. The table contains estimates of real life net data rates, not the theoretical maximum data rate.
Units:
Technology | bit/s | byte/s |
---|---|---|
USB2 | 33MiB | |
USB3 | ||
GbE | ||
10 GbE | ||
SMBv2 | ||
SATA 6G |
If the bandwidth needed is not symmetrical, ↓ means downstream (server→client) and ↑ means upstream (client→server). This is always per User.
Platform | Game | bit/s | Packets/s |
---|---|---|---|
PS4 | Battlefield 4 | ↓150Kb5 | |
PC | Counter-Strike: Global Offensive |
