MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The maximum amount of data transmitted over an internet connection in a given amount of time. Bandwidth is often mistaken for internet speed when it’s actually the volume of information that can be sent over a connection in a measured amount of time – calculated in megabits per second (Mbps).

Detailed explanation-3: -Though interrelated, they are two very different things. While network speed measures the transfer rate of data from a source system to a destination system, network bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred per second (“the size of the pipe”).

Detailed explanation-4: -Network bandwidth is a measure of the data transfer rate or capacity of a given network. It’s a crucial network measurement for understanding the speed and quality of a network. Network bandwidth is commonly measured in bits per second (bps).

Detailed explanation-5: -Speed refers to the maximum rate you can transmit data, typically measured as megabits per second (Mbps). Bandwidth refers to the maximum amount of data your connection can handle at any moment, also measured as Mbps (and increasingly Gbps, for gigabyte connections).
