The total capacity of a link to carry information; usually expressed in bits per second. (RFC 3753) (Compare: bandwidth.)
The total capacity of a link to carry information; usually expressed in bits per second. (RFC 3753) (Compare: bandwidth.)
Tutorial: Within a given bandwidth, the theoretical maximum channel capacity is given by Shannon's Law. The actual channel capacity is determined by the bandwidth, the coding system used, and the signal-to-noise ratio.
