Networks Capacity


Information "flows" through the network and all its components.

How much information can travel in a network? And how fast?


We introduced the notion of bandwidth earlier. Remember:

Bandwidth is the capacity that a communications device or network has for carrying data.

It is measured in bits per second or bps.
