  2. Bandwidth management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_management

    Bandwidth management is the process of measuring and controlling the communications (traffic, packets) on a network link, to avoid filling the link to capacity or overfilling the link, [1] which would result in network congestion and poor performance of the network.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Network traffic control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_traffic_control

    In computer networking, network traffic control is the process of managing, controlling or reducing the network traffic, particularly Internet bandwidth, e.g. by the network scheduler. [1] It is used by network administrators, to reduce congestion, latency and packet loss. This is part of bandwidth management.

  5. Computer network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network

    Bandwidth in bit/s may refer to consumed bandwidth, corresponding to achieved throughput or goodput, i.e., the average rate of successful data transfer through a communication path. The throughput is affected by processes such as bandwidth shaping , bandwidth management , bandwidth throttling , bandwidth cap and bandwidth allocation (using, for ...

  6. Traffic shaping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_shaping

    Traffic shaping is a bandwidth management technique used on computer networks which delays some or all datagrams to bring them into compliance with a desired traffic profile. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Traffic shaping is used to optimize or guarantee performance, improve latency , or increase usable bandwidth for some kinds of packets by delaying other kinds.

  7. 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]

  8. Dynamic bandwidth allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_bandwidth_allocation

    Dynamic bandwidth allocation is a technique by which traffic bandwidth in a shared telecommunications medium can be allocated on demand and fairly between different users of that bandwidth. [1] This is a form of bandwidth management , and is essentially the same thing as statistical multiplexing .

  9. Network performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_performance

    Throughput is controlled by available bandwidth, as well as the available signal-to-noise ratio and hardware limitations. Throughput for the purpose of this article will be understood to be measured from the arrival of the first bit of data at the receiver, to decouple the concept of throughput from the concept of latency.
