Bandwidth is the maximum rate at which data can be transferred over a network connection in a given period, typically measured in bits per second (bps).

Elaboration:

• Higher bandwidth allows more data to be transmitted simultaneously.
• Measured in Kbps (Kilobits per second), Mbps (Megabits per second), and Gbps (Gigabits per second).
• Affects internet speed, video streaming quality, and download rates.

Example:

A 100 Mbps broadband connection can theoretically transfer 100 megabits of data per second.
