What is thruput?

Throughput refers to the amount of data that can be transmitted or processed in a given time period and is usually measured in bits per second (bps) or bytes per second (Bps). It is a critical performance metric in networks, computer systems, and other computing devices. High throughput indicates that data can be processed or transmitted quickly, while low throughput indicates that data processing or transmission will be slow. Throughput can be impacted by several factors, including network congestion, hardware limitations, software inefficiencies, and system architecture. To improve throughput, organizations can invest in technologies like load balancing, compression, and caching, upgrade network bandwidth, and optimize software code.
