Bandwidth | In computing, bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path. | This term is not so easy to use as it can be mismatch with bandwidth in Hz in signal processing |
Bitrate | It is the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time | |
Throughput | throughput or network throughput is the rate of successful message delivery over a communication channel. The data these messages belong to may be delivered over a physical or logical link, or it can pass through a certain network node. Throughput is usually measured in bits per second (bit/s or bps), and sometimes in data packets per second (p/s or pps) or data packets per time slot. |
