GLOSSARY of Internet Terms
- Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data that can be transferred
over the network in a fixed amount of time or, in other words,
the measured amount of information that can be transmitted over
a connection. The higher the bandwidth, the greater the capacity
of a channel to carry information. On the Internet, it is
usually expressed in bits per second (bps). A fast modem for
example can move about 57,000 bits in one second.
