What is bandwidth? How is the measurement done?

A
" Bandwidth " is a well-known term in the world of this growing Internet of junk, although there are some technical explanations for this term, but this measurement is said to be bandwidth of how much data unit will transmit in the time of internet. Physical access to broadband is a very important issue in getting access to internet connections, but with many types of methods, internet access can now be used. There will be no internet connectivity, high bandwidth rates will also be. As soon as a video loads into a high-bandwidth connection, the low-bandwidth connections will not be loaded as fast. If you want to express in one word, then how much bit data is transmitted in seconds, this term is called Bandwidth, for example 8 Mbit / s (8Mbps), which can be transferred to 8 million bits per second.

Bandwidth measurements

Now the question is, how much bandwidth do you have? How to measure? Many would say, "It's a lot easier, if you dial a specific code, then say how many bandwidth it is, and if you use broadband, there is unlimited bandwidth." In fact, you are totally wrong - the amount of data displayed in your SIM data account is just one limit, that is how much you can spend on the bandwidth. But if it's called your bandwidth, then the bandwidth rate is being asked.

There are many speed test websites for measuring bandwidth rates, which in general use your Internet connection speed test. When you start a speed test on a Speed ​​Test website, you get a result by measuring data transmitters and server data transmitters from your computer to server computers. But it is not always possible to get a good result. You can get the average result and take the idea from there. Connecting to a server on the Internet is transferring data, depending on where the physical location of that server is based on data transfer-rate sheets. As soon as you can download files from Bangladesh or Asian server, you can not download files from America or the server of Europe. According to Kona Physics rules, data can never travel faster than the speed of light. Yes, there is a speed of light (186,000 miles / second), but still there is a limitation, which means that only 186,000 miles per second has the ability to cross, so if the server is away from your location then there will be a difference in the speed of the transfer speed.

Generally, download speed is better than upload speed, but why? Because most of the internet user servers download files, but file uploads to the server are much less. So ISP reduced the upload speed. But there are Internet connection on the server, there is a lot of upload speed, and that's why you get the download speed from the server. Because when you download a file from the server, at that time the server is uploading the file to you.

You can check your average bandwidth using SpeedTest.net or fast dot low speed sites. Many ISPs provide their own bandwidth testers, you can also use them to get the idea of ​​your bandwidth speed.
It's not quite possible to get the speed, Kenona has many factors, which I discussed above.

BANDWIDTH VS WATER TUBE

To understand the bandwidth term, you can compare it to the water tube or the tap. If the transfer rate increases, the water will start flowing more rapidly at a given time. A water pipe must be limited, you can stream the amount of water in a time.
Now suppose you are downloading a broadband connection, downloading the
video from that connection, playing a voice in VoIP , doing multi-player gaming, and the more you are spending bandwidth in this way your connection will become so slow. Now let's take a example of a water tube, you have a main water tube that has the ability to transfer certain amount of water at specific times.

Now if you leave the kitchen tube, the bathroom tube, the garden pipe together, the speed of the water will be reduced to all the streams. Kano source will provide the speed of all the pipes based on the water pressure. So you understand the bandwidth speed?


Now there is another term, especially the amount of money you pay for mobile internet, according to you the bandwidth amount is fixed. In this case, you have to keep thinking about two things, firstly you can transfer data from that network to a specific amount (1 GB or 2 GB or you have paid for the transfer of data as much as you have), and you have bandwidth rate factor right here, just every second. How many bits of data you can transfer (10 million bits / second) The bandwidth rate is calculated as Mbit / s (Mb / s), and the file size is calculated as MB (MB).

That's why they sell planes in the form of 1 Mbit / s (1Mbps) while purchasing the internet from ISP, but when you download the file, you get only ~ 125 kilobytes / second (~ 128 KB / s) speed.
Kona bits and bytes are two different measurements. There are 8 bits in 1 byte, which means that your rated connection will be 8 times smaller in megabytes.

MB / SEC VS MEGBIT / SEC

Although the bandwidth rate is normally measured by bit / second you need to know that any unit can be rated bandwidth rate such as kilobytes / second (KB / s), kilobytes / second (KB / s), Mbit / s (Mb / s), MB / s, Gigabit / sec (GB / s), gb / s (GB / s). Your Internet Service Provider can use any term, but your speed testing service can use different term, video website separate term, downloading software different term. But if you have a right idea about these terms, then do not worry about it, why are there different speeds in different places.
For example, 10 MB / s (MB / s) and 10 Mbit / s (Mb / s) but not one thing. Here, notice the Mugabit (b lower hand) and megabytes (B upper hands), with the help of it, can easily detect MEGBIT and megabytes. Since 8 bytes is 1 byte, so bytes, 8 times bigger than bit! If the operator sells 8 Mbit / s (8 Mb / s) bandwidth, this means you get 8 ÷ 8 = 1 megabytes / second (1 mb / s) speed in megabytes.

The bandwidth rate depends on more factors, such as latency , data packet loss, difference between packet receipt from one packet to another. However, from this entire article, hopefully all the skepticism about bandwidth has become clear from your mind. If there is still any question, do not forget to give me a comment below!
