Bandwidth Allocation

Bandwidth allocation refers to the process of distributing available network capacity among various users or applications. Just like a highway has a limited number of lanes for cars, a network can handle only a certain amount of data traffic at a time. Proper allocation ensures that important tasks, like video calls or online gaming, receive enough bandwidth for smooth performance, while less urgent activities, like downloads, might get lower priority. This management helps maintain overall network efficiency, ensuring all users have a fair experience without causing congestion or slowdowns.
