Spanish term

en sentido descendente

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Telecom(munications)
Hi All,

I'm translating a text about a multi-service network and would appreciate any assistance translating the above term in the following context. It appears in a section on the Gigabit Passive Optical Network:

Tráfico asimétrico de 2,5Gbps en sentido descendente y 1,25 Gbps en sentido ascendente en la misma fibra.

Many thanks in advance!

Darren

"An innovative technology for FTTH implementation, Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) provides unprecedented bandwidth (up to 2.5 Gbps downstream rate, shared by up to 128 premises)"
http://www.dlink.com/uk/en/service-provider-solutions/techno...

Plenty more where that came from. So what's the problem?
philgoddard Sep 25, 2017:
Robin Levey Here's another example:
"Service is provided over single mode fiber to an Alcatel-Lucent ONT (optical network terminal) in my basement and it's provisioned at 2.488 Gb/s line rate downstream and 1.244 Gb/s line rate upstream."

I've never seen anyone withdraw a disagree when they're proved wrong, but there's always a first time...

In telecommunications network services, when you talk about traffic, download it s a accurate definition for the amount of data transferred in an asymmetric bandwith more than the direction of the data

Downstream, as mentioned by philgoddard could be also be ok. I found this link for you to decide, good luck.

Peer comment(s):
agree Jennifer Levey : 'download' is correct. 'downstream' is wrong in Asker's context.

neutral philgoddard : This might be appropriate for (say) an individual downloading a file. But I don't think it fits this context, which is a network outside the home and on the service provider's premises. It's about large amounts of data whizzing back and forth.

It is difficult to decide. I read an article and I think it is download, but I read another one and I think it is downstream
agree Charles Davis : Download speed is OK. So is downstream speed.

Thank you Charles. Yes, it is difficult to decide.

downstream

"In a telecommunications network or computer network, downstream refers to data sent from a network service provider to a customer."
Reference:

Peer comment(s):
disagree Jennifer Levey : You cannot measure "downstream" in Gbit/s.

Yes you can, and you shouldn't post disagrees without checking your facts. Look at the second sentence here, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10G-EPON
agree Clarkalo : This is definitely the correct term. Here is an example reference: http://www.gartner.com/it-glossary/10g-pon/ (ie. "Asymmetrical 10G-PON [...] provides 10 Gbps downstream and 2.5 Gbps upstream.")

Thanks!
agree Charles Davis : If Robin is right an awful lot of professionals are wrong.
