Detailed explanation-1: -Which of these is the name for the capacity of a medium to carry data? Bandwidth is the capacity of a network medium to carry data. Which of these is a measure of the transfer of bits across the media? The transfer of bits across the network media over a period of time is known as throughput.
Detailed explanation-2: -Network bandwidth is a measurement indicating the maximum capacity of a wired or wireless communications link to transmit data over a network connection in a given amount of time. Typically, bandwidth is represented in the number of bits, kilobits, megabits or gigabits that can be transmitted in 1 second.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bandwidth specifically refers to the capacity at which a network can transmit data. For example, if the bandwidth of a network is 40 Mbps, it implies that the network cannot transmit data faster than 40 Mbps in any given case.
