  2. Bandwidth (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_(computing)

    The consumed bandwidth in bit/s, corresponds to achieved throughput or goodput, i.e., the average rate of successful data transfer through a communication path.The consumed bandwidth can be affected by technologies such as bandwidth shaping, bandwidth management, bandwidth throttling, bandwidth cap, bandwidth allocation (for example bandwidth allocation protocol and dynamic bandwidth ...

  3. Contention ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contention_ratio

    In computer networking, the contention ratio is the ratio of the potential maximum demand to the actual bandwidth. The higher the contention ratio, the greater the number of users that may be trying to use the actual bandwidth at any one time and, therefore, the lower the effective bandwidth offered, especially at peak times. [1]

  4. Network performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_performance

    For discussions of this type, the terms 'throughput' and 'bandwidth' are often used interchangeably. The Time Window is the period over which the throughput is measured. The choice of an appropriate time window will often dominate calculations of throughput, and whether latency is taken into account or not will determine whether the latency ...

  5. Network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_throughput

    The dominant equation here is the Shannon–Hartley theorem, and analog limitations of this type can be understood as factors that affect either the analog bandwidth of a signal or as factors that affect the signal-to-noise ratio. The bandwidth of wired systems can be in fact surprisingly narrow, with the bandwidth of Ethernet wire limited to ...

  6. Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling

    without bandwidth throttling, a server could efficiently serve only 100 active TCP connections (100 MB/s / 1 MB/s) before saturating network bandwidth; a saturated network (i.e. with a bottleneck through an Internet Access Point) could slow down a lot the attempts to establish other new connections or even to force them to fail because of ...

  7. Internet bottleneck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_bottleneck

    Internet bottlenecks provide artificial and natural network choke points to inhibit certain sets of users from overloading the entire network by consuming too much bandwidth. Theoretically, this will lead users and content producers through alternative paths to accomplish their goals while limiting the network load at any one time.

  9. Bandwidth (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_(signal_processing)

    The Rayleigh bandwidth of a simple radar pulse is defined as the inverse of its duration. For example, a one-microsecond pulse has a Rayleigh bandwidth of one megahertz. [1] The essential bandwidth is defined as the portion of a signal spectrum in the frequency domain which contains most of the energy of the signal. [2]
