What is supposed to be the speed of USB?

What are the caviots to achiving that speed?

USB has two speed slow and very slow :wink:

12 Mbits and 1.5 Mbits

In real life you can expect a maximum of 700-800 Kbytes

What are the caviots to achiving that speed?

The major factor is the device itself.

If there is a slow device on the bus, will it also slow down the faster
device?

In article <9u31mn$e5p$1@inn.qnx.com>, qtps@earthlink.net says…

device?

Only to a certain extent. The devices are “time multiplexed” on the bus,
and the faster device will still communicate at the faster speed during
its time slots. The slower device will still take however long it takes
to communicate at a slower speed.

USB 2.0 has (will have) a top speed of around 100Mbits

In real life you can expect a maximum of 700-800 Kbytes

The major factor is the device itself.

Note that there are two different types of delivery. I
forget their names, but something like reliable (guarenteed
delivery) and real-time (guarenteed throughput).

The former would be for transfering data, such as with a
disk drive, and the later for something like web-cam where
losing data is ok, and getting it in real time is more
important.

“isochronous” is the web-cam one…
