带宽和数据速率之间的差异

1.带宽：
带宽定义为在特定时间段内要传输的数据的潜力。它是网络或传输介质的数据承载能力。简而言之，它是每秒可在链路上传输的最大数据量。通常以每秒比特数(bps)，每秒兆比特(Mbps)或千兆比特每秒(Gbps)来度量。

例如，如果带宽为100 Mbps，则意味着该通道每秒最多可传输100 Mb数据。

2.数据速率：
数据速率定义为在指定时间段内通过网络传输的数据量。它是数据从一个设备传输到另一台设备或在外围设备和计算机之间传输的速度。通常以兆比特每秒(Mbps)或兆字节每秒(MBps)为单位进行度量。

例如，如果带宽为100 Mbps但数据速率为50 Mbps，则意味着最多可以传输100 Mb数据，但通道每秒仅传输50 Mb数据。

带宽和数据速率之间的差异：

Bandwidth	Data Rate
It is the potential of the data that is to be transferred in a specific period of time.	It is the amount of data transmitted during a specified time period over a network.
It is the number of bits per second that a link can send or receive.	It is the speed of data transmission.
Normally it is measured in bps, Mbps or Gbps.	It is normally measured in Mbps or MBps.
It refers to to maximum data transmission speed.	It refers to the actual data transmission speed.
It is physical layer property in OSI model.	While it is common in all layers.
It shows the capacity of the channel.	It shows the present speed of data transmission.
It does not depend on properties of sender or receiver.	While it gets affected by sender or receiver.
