MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -On Gigabit Ethernet local area networks, data transfer can be as fast as 1, 000 megabits per second (Mbps). Newer network switches can transfer data in the terabit range, such as the Silicon One G100 switch from Cisco, which offers a DTR of up to 25.6 terabits per second (Tbps).

Detailed explanation-2: -Bandwidth is a measure of the transmission capacity of a network over a specific period of time. It is the rate at which a link may send or receive bits per second. Data rate is used to measure how fast data is transferred from one point to another. It refers to the actual amount of data transferred.

Detailed explanation-3: -Network bandwidth is the data communications term that describes the maximum transmission capacity of a wireless or wired communication network for transmitting data over the connection of a network. Generally, it is measured in bits, that is, the number of bits transmitted but the network in one second.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).
