Networks, Bandwidth, Throughput and Latency

What is bandwidth and how does it affect data transmission?

• Bandwidth is the actual amount of data being transferred, and it determines the speed of data transmission.

• Bandwidth is the delay or lag that happens when data travels from one place to another, affecting the speed of data transmission.

• Bandwidth is the size of a pipe that carries water, and it determines how much data can be transmitted in a certain amount of time.

• Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data that can be transferred, but it doesn't affect the speed of data transmission.

What is throughput and what does it tell us about data transmission?

• Throughput is the actual amount of data being transferred, and it tells us the maximum amount of data that can be transferred.

• Throughput is the delay or lag that happens when data travels from one place to another, affecting the speed of data transmission.

• Throughput is the size of a pipe that carries water, and it determines how much data can be transmitted in a certain amount of time.

• Throughput is the actual amount of data that is successfully transmitted and received, telling us how much data is actually being transferred.

What is latency and how does it impact network performance?

• Latency is the actual amount of data being transferred, and it affects the speed of data transmission.

• Latency is the delay or lag that happens when data travels from one place to another, impacting network performance.

• Latency is the size of a pipe that carries water, and it determines how much data can be transmitted in a certain amount of time.

• Latency is the maximum amount of data that can be transferred, but it doesn't impact network performance.

Which of the following factors primarily affects latency?

• a) Bandwidth

• b) Throughput

• c) Distance

• 1. d) Number of devices connected

If a network has a bandwidth of 100 Mbps, how much data can it theoretically transfer in one second?

• a) 10 megabytes

• b) 100 megabytes

• c) 100 kilobytes

• 1. d) 10 kilobytes
