World of Computer Networking Your CCNA start - Measuring Throughput

The video tutorial explains the difference between bandwidth and throughput, emphasizing that throughput is always lower than the actual bandwidth. It includes a demonstration of measuring internet speed using speedtest.net, highlighting the difference between advertised and actual speeds. The tutorial also discusses the results of the speed test, focusing on the concept of throughput on the application layer. Finally, it introduces the concepts of latency and ping, setting the stage for further discussion.

What is the relationship between bandwidth and throughput?

• Throughput is always equal to bandwidth.

• Throughput is always lower than bandwidth.

• Throughput is always higher than bandwidth.

• Throughput and bandwidth are unrelated.

When a wireless router advertises a speed of 300 megabits per second, what does this number represent?

• The actual throughput of the device.

• The maximum possible bandwidth of the device.

• The average speed of the device.

• The minimum speed guaranteed by the device.

What tool is used in the demonstration to measure internet speed?

• Network Speed Checker

• Bandwidth Analyzer

• Speedtest.net

• Internet Speed Meter
