What are the application of bandwidth?

[nataliamike]

Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time. A range within a band of frequencies or wavelengths. For digital devices, the bandwidth is usually expressed in bits per second(bps) or bytes per second.

This is a wonderful opinion. The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone.

Good point. And I hope you actually understand what is bandwidth.

Bandwidth is most familiar to consumers because of its use by hosting companies or Internet service providers. The sense in which it is used by most web hosting companies, that is, as a measure of total data transferred in a month, is not strictly correct. This measurement is more rightly referred to as data transfer, but the use of bandwidth by hosting companies is so pervasive that it has become accepted by the general public.

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 given time period. It should be remembered that a real communications path usually consists of a succession of links, each with its own bandwidth. If one of these is much slower than the rest, it is said to be a bandwidth bottleneck.

Application Bandwidth Management consists of a set of Quality of Service (QoS) tools used to handle and prioritize data traffic by application type. In doing so, bandwidth-intensive applications, such as peer-to-peer applications (for example, BitTorrent), can be prevented from crowding out legitimate business traffic.

Advanced bandwidth management solutions maximize an enterprise's available bandwidth by inspecting and classifying the traffic generated by common business applications based on granular policies, ensuring that the most critical network traffic receives the highest priority across WAN links.

Solutions provide automatic application protocol classification and comprehensive policies and traffic controls such as rate shaping, rate limiting, selective dropping and priority marking.

Other methods of managing the bandwidth available to user applications include:

Application Protocol Classification - Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) techniques enable management devices to identify application protocols - even when those applications may use deceptive port-hopping, port-tunneling, and encryption techniques to avoid detection.

Innovative User-Based QoS Policies - Allocate bandwidth and network application access transparently to users based solely on their user IDs or using traditional QoS policies (based on Layer 3-7 traffic classification).

Bandwidth Utilization Reports - Bandwidth utilization reports quickly identify top protocols, and find users that are consuming too much bandwidth.

Bandwidth is the capacity of a wired or wireless network communications link to transmit the maximum amount of data from one point to another over a computer network or internet connection in a given amount of time -- usually one second. Synonymous with capacity, bandwidth describes the data transfer rate.
