What is Bandwidth

Importance of bandwidth Bandwidth is defined as the amount of information that can flow through a network connection in a given period of time.

Analogies

Measurement In digital systems, the basic unit of bandwidth is bits per second (bps). Bandwidth is the measure of how much information, or bits, can flow from one place to another in a given amount of time, or seconds.

Limitations STS-48 (OC-48)=2.488 Gbps Bandwidth varies depending upon the type of media as well as the LAN and WAN technologies used. The physics of the media account for some of the difference. Signals travel through twisted-pair copper wire, coaxial cable, optical fiber, and air. The actual bandwidth of a network is determined by a combination of the physical media and the technologies chosen for signaling and detecting network signals.

Throughput Throughput refers to actual measured bandwidth, at a specific time of day, using specific Internet routes, and while a specific set of data is transmitted on the network. Throughput is often far less than the maximum possible digital bandwidth of the medium that is being used. Internetworking devices The following are some of the factors that determine throughput: Type of data being transferred Network topology Number of users on the network User computer Server computer Power conditions

Data transfer calculation Using the formula transfer time = size of file / bandwidth (T=S/BW) allows a network administrator to estimate several of the important components of network performance. If the typical file size for a given application is known, dividing the file size by the network bandwidth yields an estimate of the fastest time that the file can be transferred.

Data transfer calculation Make sure that you use the same units throughput in the equation Because file sizes are typically given in megabytes, you might need to multiply the number of megabytes by 8 to convert to megabits. (differentiate between measuring storage and measuring bandwidth) Would it take less time to send the contents of a floppy disk full of data (1.44 MB) over an ISDN line or to send the contents for a 10-GB hard drive full of data over an OC-48 line?
