orphan date September 2009 nofootnotes date December 2009 Bandwidth pooling is used in network switch es to optimize the use of network resources . It allows switch processing cards to be shared by physical interface cards. This innovation frees switch resources that would otherwise be stranded when lower rate interface cards are deployed in an aggregation switch. Bandwidth Pooling in Dedicated Hosting This is a key mechanism for hosting buyers to determine which provider is offering the right pricing mechanism of bandwidth pricing. Most Dedicated Hosting providers bundle bandwidth pricing along with the monthly charge for the dedicated server. Let us illustrate this with the help of an example. An average 100 server from any of the common dedicated bandwidth providers would carry 2 TB of bandwidth. Suppose you purchased 10 servers then you would have the ability to consume 2 TB of bandwidth per server. However, let us assume that given your application architecture only 2 of these 10 servers are really web facing while the rest are used for storage, search, database or other internal functions then the provider that allows bandwidth pooling would let you consume overall 20 TB of bandwidth as incoming or outbound or both depending on their policy. The provider that does not offer Bandwidth pooling bandwidth pooling would just let you use 2 TB of bandwidth and the rest of the 8 TB of bandwidth would be practically unusable. Uses Bandwidth pooling is used in computer and mobile phone networks.

Citecheck date November 2007 Bandwidth optimization is one of many concerns webmasters deal with when hosting web content. Since most web hosts charge by Bandwidthcomputingbandwidth used or have an account limit on bandwidth, a prudent webmaster will squeeze and Bandwidth compression compress their files as much as possible without affecting the content s integrity. Lately, most web hosts are offering unlimited bandwidth. Reductions in bandwidth usage are measured in negabytes , a unit akin to other negative units such as negawatts , negavolts , negajoules , negameters , and negagrams . Even the simplest bandwidth optimization techniques can reduce bandwidth costs significantly. Owners of extremely high volume web services are especially diligent, and have been known to employ extreme techniques to save a few bytes per page. For example, many staple pages are highly optimized with whitespace and line breaks removed, unneeded quotes removed around HTML attributes, and images compressed to the limit while maintaining clarity. Most bandwidth optimization techniques can fit into one of three categories Efficiency, Compression, and Omission. Efficiency Efficiency techniques involve changing the web content in order to minimize the number of bytes that need to be sent. For example, use external files which will cache instead of inline styles and scripts, reuse icon images, use semantic markup. Fix any broken images, since these often send a verbose 404 error page. Compression Use compression on the server to squash files before they are sent. Compression is a well established technique in telecommunications, since without significant bandwidth compression, the telephone grid could not handle the amount of data that passes through it. On the web the most popular compression algorithm for real time compression is gzip . The topic of compression also includes image compression e.g. JPG, PNG, GIF Also see Wan optimization WAN Optimization Omission Omit unneeded bytes. Remove ... more details

Cleanup date December 2007 Unreferenced date May 2009 Coherence bandwidth is a statistical measurement of the range of frequencies over which the channel can be considered flat , or in other words the approximate maximum bandwidth or frequency interval over which two frequencies of a signal are likely to experience comparable or correlated amplitude fading . If the multipath time delay spread equals D second s, then the coherence bandwidth math W c math in rad s is given approximately by the equation math W c approx 2 pi over D math The coherence bandwidth varies over Cellular network cellular or PCS communications paths because the multipath spread D varies from path to path. Application Frequencies within a coherence bandwidth of one another tend to all fade in a similar or correlated fashion. One reason for designing the CDMA IS 95 waveform with a bandwidth of approximately 1.25 Megahertz MHz is because in many urban signaling environments the coherence bandwidth W sub c sub is significantly less than 1.25 MHz. Therefore, when fading occurs it occurs only over a relatively small fraction of the total CDMA signal bandwidth. The portion of the signal bandwidth over which fading does not occur typically contains enough signal power to sustain reliable communications.This is the bandwidth over which the channel transfer function remains virtually constant. Example If the delay spread D over a particular cellular communication path in an urban environment is 3 s, then using equation above, the coherence bandwidth is approximately 333 kilohertz kHz , which is only about 27 of the IS 95 bandwidth.

Memory bandwidth is the rate at which data can be read from or stored into a semiconductor memory by a central processing unit processor . Memory bandwidth is usually expressed in units of bytes per second bytes second , though this can vary for systems with natural data sizes that are not a multiple of the commonly used 8 bit bytes. Memory bandwidth that is advertised for a given memory or system is usually the maximum theoretical bandwidth. In practice the observed memory bandwidth will be less than and is guaranteed not to exceed the advertised bandwidth. A variety of Computer benchmark computer benchmarks exist to measure sustained memory bandwidth using a variety of access patterns.

Context date October 2009 Bandwidth Guaranteed Polling BGP is a dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm designed by Maode Ma et al. at the National University of Singapore . This is an instance of an algorithm that allocates Bandwidthcomputingbandwidth based on fixed weights. BGP divides a window of time into fixed sized slots, a number of which are allocated to each FTTP Electrical portion Optical Network Unit ONU . The number allocated depends upon the ONU customer s service level agreement SLA . If an ONU does not wish to utilize its entire allocated time slot, it may inform the OLT about this. The OLT may then decide to reallocate the remaining time slot to another ONU which does not have an SLA. The BGP algorithm may not be entirely compatible with the MPCP standard. This is because the MPCP does not provide any way for the ONU to inform the OLT about the fraction of the time slot that it wishes to use.
