What is bandwidth?

We often hear people talking about bandwidth and we know that higher bandwidth is usually a good thing. But what does the term “bandwidth” mean?

“Bandwidth, when used in the computational terms, is the amount of data that can be transferred over a given connection in a set period of time. The speed of many things such as internet connections, local network connections, and even local connections between host computers and peripherals are frequently described in terms of bandwidth.

Bandwidth is usually noted in the format of bits-per-second (or whatever multiple of bits-per-second is most practical for the application). Thus you will frequently hear Internet Service Providers toting that their top-tier residential internet connection offers 50Mbit/s or an article on a technology blog explaining that a new cable standard offers a 2Gbit/s increase in available bandwidth over the previous standard.”

    Nuttige stukkie inligting. Wonder net wat die bandwydte van die menslike brein is!
