Throughput

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The throughput describes the amount that is processed or transferred within a specified period of time through a previously defined limit (balance envelope, interface , control area).

In computer science , for example, throughput is a measure of the amount of data that can be processed by a system or subsystem per period of time. In computer networks , the data throughput indicates how much data can be transmitted over the network , a subnetwork or a network component over a period of time . It is to be distinguished from the latency as a measure of the running time of a datum through the network and from the network load , which describes the actually used portion of the available throughput.
