Bandwidth
Bandwidth in fact means sum of total data, usually measured at MB or GB, which can be downloaded from or uploaded at specific website during specific period.
That all, of course, includes internet, which interfaces depends more or less on cables, which are conducted at concrete places. So is concerned size of every interface, which designates, what of transmission bandwidth is available. Transmission bandwidth is measured by bits, they are grouped into bytes which form words, text and information, which are carried between yours computer and the internet.
This function will in most of interest perhaps peoples, who work with webs. Most of web hosting companies offer whole spectrum of possibilities usage data transmission band in their tariffs. Ossia, transmission band width is possibility of transmission, which is possible to get between yours website and the rest of the internet. Size of transmission band width which can hosting company offer, is not theirs interface at zone of the internet (on theirs inside data centers and at the public internet).
I show you this on example. I compare it to activity of car on highway. Width of zone presents count of bands on highway and data activity is count of cars. If you are the only car, you can go fast. If you stay at the traffic-jam, you go slowly, because all bands are full.
Most of small webs projects or personal www sites don´t need more than 1 GB for month. When looming on web sites statistical sites and you are waiting small activity on daily base, it´s enough tariffs with low traffic for you. But when you cross it, the hosting company can account you dues for using over framework of contract.
For measuring bandwidth of course exist programs, which are currently free accessible. One of this is Bandwidth Monitor. It is very precious and useful instrument for measuring date transfer all possible ways. This function can help not one of surfer, who uses ADSL or connector through cable TV. He can namely with this safe his transferred data and he mustn’t pay more money for limit violation. Quantity measured information is possible to change sever. It is possible to add or take away in setting of the program. You can determine, in what of time sector do you want to show information, in what of unit, if are this inbound or outbound dates.
Next of this programs is ShaPlus Bandwidth Meter. It works almost like the first one. It is possible to set moreover show-through of program to don´t resist on the work table. It is possible thanks its set switch-off imaging of pictures and deactivation Flash elements, which is plus for those, who have slower internet.
Next is Bandwidth Tester, which is component upgrade of Firefox. It makes possible to also measuring speed interface. It sends dates on faraway server and here it measures speed of interface. In the end of the test average it and say in kilobits for second. You don´t have to search sites, which are able to do it too.
In sale are Bandwidth managers too. It is fully furnished instrument for control of net activity, which works on hierarchical principle of rules. By the help of these rules you can to specify transmission limitation for every user of the internet in your PC net. This kind of software is labeling like bandwidth shaper, bandwidth limiter or traffic shaper. It makes possible to apply restrictive rules on concrete address IP, ports and even net interface, without you have to some like change the infrastructure your net.
