Refer To The Exhibit. What Is The Maximum Possible Throughput Between The Pc And The Server?

128 kb/s is the minimum possible throughput between the pc and the server. Today, let us discuss the network throughput in detail. The throughput is nothing but the number of bits that are transferred from the sender to the receiver, hence the unit of throughput can be eight bits per unit time. We have two types in the throughput, let us discuss each of them in detail. The two types are instantaneous throughput and the other one is average throughput. Instantaneous is nothing rate at any given point of the time. And the average is defined as the rate over long periods of time. The term rate is nothing but the number of bits that are going to be transmitted in the given period of time.

Let us take an example to understand this concept in detail. Here let us consider a server that stores a file with the length F bits, this server wants to send it to the client. And now between the client and the server, we have two types of links. The first type of link has a capacity of subscripts bits per second. And second, the link has a capacity of c bits per second. Let us assume it is water that is flowing through a pipe. And assume server as a reservoir, here we have F bits that we need to transmit and these F bits will flow through a pipe i.e link at a rate of s bits per second. and it flows through the other link at a rate of C bits per second. Now, we need to know at what rate the server can flow the bits to the client.

As we discussed earlier, the link between the server and the client can able to carry bits at different rates, let say the capacity at the length 1 is less than the capacity at the length 2. So the link 1 will decide how much flow is passing through the server to the client, so the value of link 1 can be determined through the throughput.

And in another scenario, if we consider the capacity at link 1 is higher than link 2, so the amount of flow that passed through link 1 will be more than the amount of flow that passing through link 2, hence the throughput will be determined by the capacity of the second pipe. Therefore, the one which has the minimum capacity will determine the throughput for the flow that passes between the client and the server. Let say we have ten servers, ten clients, all these are connected by having a different connection that is directly connected to the internet. here we have options like entire packets can flow through multiple devices, the flow capacity will be equally shared between all the ten servers. So all these servers are going to use this capacity. The end-to-end connection for each throughput will depend on the value of the devices that are connected.
