What is Network Bandwidth

Network Bandwidth refers to the volume of data being transmitted across a network at any given point in time. Network Bandwidth can decrease if devices that enable networked communications fail. Network Bandwidth can also be constrained by both hardware and software limitations. Optimizing the available Network Bandwidth is a primary responsibility of network administrators.
