The networking community would be more appropriate, methinks. >I would like to know what do we actually mean by "Bandwidth". It is actually a fairly standardized term by now, to borrow Wikipedia's definition: In website hosting, the term "bandwidth" is often used metaphorically, to describe the amount of data that can be transferred to or from the website or server, measured in bytes transferred over a prescribed period of time. Even if a system discards packets, your NSP, ISP or webhost will still count it towards your total since it traversed their network. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ I must be cruel, only to be kind... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
