  • Bandwidth is measured in bits per second
  • It is common to use Kilobits per second (Kbs) and Megabits per second (Mbs) when describing the bandwidth of modern communication links such as the Internet
  • Bandwidth determines the overall speed of a connection
  • The lowest bandwidth in the communication chain between two computers determines the maximum speed of connection.
