The theoretical maximum at 64byte frames is 1,488,100. I've looked
up my notes the 1.244Mpps number can be ajusted to 1.488Mpps.
Where is the extra? I still get 1.644736 Mpps (10^9/(8*64+96)).
1.488095 is for 64 bits extra (10^9/(8*64+96+64)).
A standard ethernet frame (on the wire) consists of:
7 octets preamble
1 octet Start Frame Delimiter
6 octets destination address
6 octets source address
2 octets length/type
46-1500 octets data (+padding if needed)
4 octets Frame Check Sequence
Followed by (at least) 96 bits interFrameGap, before the next frame starts.
For minimal packet size this gives a maximum packet rate at 1Gbit/s of
1e9/((7+1+6+6+2+46+4)*8+96)/ = 1488095 packets/second
You probably missed the preamble and start frame delimiter in your
calculation.
Thanks. Yes, that was it.
