World of Computer Networking Your CCNA start - Bandwidth in Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

The video tutorial discusses network characteristics, focusing on bandwidth, its measurement, and its importance in network design. It explains bandwidth as the maximum data transfer rate over a connection, measured in bits per second, and details various bandwidth values like kilobits, megabits, and gigabits. The tutorial also covers how to calculate bandwidth over time and identify bottlenecks in a network, emphasizing the need to avoid them. Finally, it highlights the physical media characteristics that affect bandwidth, such as copper cables and wireless connections.

What is the maximum bandwidth of copper cables and fiber optics?

What is bandwidth and how is it defined?

List the possible values for measuring bandwidth.

How do you calculate the maximum available bandwidth between two endpoints?

What is a bottleneck in the context of network design?

Why is it important to understand the physical characteristics of cables in relation to bandwidth?

Explain the difference between bandwidth and throughput.
