Network Bandwidth

Network bandwidth is the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over an internet connection or network link in a given amount of time, typically measured in megabits or gigabits per second. Think of it like a highway's width; a wider highway can handle more cars simultaneously, leading to faster traffic flow. Similarly, higher bandwidth allows more data to be sent or received quickly, improving streaming, downloads, and browsing experiences. It doesn't determine the speed of a single file transfer alone but indicates how much data the network can handle at once.
