Packets stand for...

[Ultiweap]

Hi,

I'm a mass downloader and with Windows XP in the network connection window I can see packets. In Vista I see that it is bytes and I would like to know what is the representation of the packets... KB, B, MB and so on??? What is it exactly?

Thanks in advance for any help

Packet Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_(information_technology)

It's in Bytes, it's basically how much data is transferring. Like when you download a song say 4Meg it'll transfer approx 4000KBytes

Ok...

So the Packets that I see on Win Xp is KB???

There may be some confusion here:

Packets and send and receive bytes can actually differ in size.

This can get very involved with explanations

Unless you get other replies, it may be better to start googling all this
