All you have to know is that Kilo is 1000bits, mega is 1,000,000bits and giga 1,000,000,000 bits The bandwidth parameter has nothing to do with throughput. It is an arbitrary number that is used in routing protocol calculations. It may also be important to note that OSPF divides that arbitrary number into 100,000,000 to calculate its metric. . So if you had a partial T1 with 1Mb of bandwidth, the logic can't assume that you are only using a partial T1, it will assume you are using a full T1. So the calculation would be 100,000,000/1,544,000 which would give you the default ospf cost for a T1 link. 64!!!!!
