ASN.1 is short for Abstract Syntax Notation 1 and does not define a binary format, this is done by the encoding rules, when I lost interest in ASN.1 there were 4 encoding rules, ranging from Basic to Distinguished. Those that I have talked to that have worked with ASN.1 don't like it much, it is one of those really good ideas that suck in practice.

IIRC gigabit ethernet and fibre channel use 10-bit bytes giving just 100MB/second.
