What is different between thorughput and data rate?..

Answer / Vikas Srivastava

Throughput and data rate are two related but distinct concepts in networking:
1. Data Rate: It refers to the maximum amount of data a device can transmit per second, measured in bits per second (bps).
2. Throughput: It is the actual amount of data that is successfully transmitted over a network within a given time period, considering factors like congestion, errors, and retransmissions.nThroughput is usually lower than data rate due to these factors, but it is a more accurate measure of a system's performance.
