Performance-Latency VS Bandwidth VS Throughput

less than 1 minute read

Let’s understund what is the difference between: Bandwidth, Latency and Throughput.

BandwidthPermalink

Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data being transferred from one point to another. (mb/s)

LatencyPermalink

Latency refers to the amount of time it takes for data to travel from one point to another.

ThroughputPermalink

Throughput refers to the amount of data that is being transferred over a set period of time. If you have high bandwidth and low latency, then you have a greater throughput because more data is being transferred faster.
