Bandwidth
is defined as a range within a band of frequencies or wavelengths. In
computer networks, bandwidth is often used as a synonym for data
transfer rate - the amount of data that can be carried from one point
to another in a fixed amount of time. However, there is quite a difference between these two terms technically.
Bandwidth : A measurement of the data transfer rate over a medium (network). Your site will load faster if you have more bandwidth. Data Transfer : The traffic generated (or amount of data transferred) from a site. The amount of data transferred will depend on the number of visitors to the site and the file sizes of web pages (including multimedia files). |
