Throughput refers to the volume of data successfully transmitted across the network in a given period, usually measured in bits per second (bps). This metric indicates network capacity and efficiency in handling data traffic. Throughput is crucial for ensuring sufficient bandwidth for high-demand applications. For instance, a network may aim for a throughput of 1 Gbps to facilitate fast, uninterrupted data transfer for users streaming high-definition video.
