THROUGHPUT
Throughput is the actual amount of
data that is successfully sent or received over a network in a given period of
time. It shows the real speed of data transfer between devices.
In simple words, throughput measures how much data is
actually transferred successfully.
Units of Throughput
• bps (Bits per second)
• Kbps (Kilobits per second)
• Mbps (Megabits per second)
• Gbps (Gigabits per second)
Higher throughput means faster and smoother
performance, such as quicker downloads, video streaming without buffering, and
a better online experience.
Examples
• Downloading a movie
quickly
• Watching YouTube videos without buffering
• Attending online classes smoothly
• Playing online games with less delay
BANDWIDTH
Bandwidth
is the maximum amount of data that a network can transmit in a given period of
time. It represents the data-carrying capacity of a network.
In simple words,
bandwidth shows how much data can be sent or received at one time.
Units of Bandwidth
• bps (Bits per second)
• Kbps (Kilobits per second)
• Mbps (Megabits per second)
• Gbps (Gigabits per second)
Higher bandwidth allows
more data to travel at once, resulting in faster Internet access, smoother
video streaming, quicker file downloads, and better online communication.
Examples
• Streaming high-quality
videos
• Downloading large files quickly
• Attending online classes smoothly
• Making video calls without interruptions

|
Bandwidth is usually greater than
or equal to throughput. |
Throughput is usually less than
bandwidth. |
|
Higher bandwidth allows more data
to be transmitted. |
Higher throughput results in faster
and smoother data transfer. |
