Bandwidth n. [common] Used by hackers (in a generalization of its technical meaning) as the volume of information per unit time that a computer, person, or transmission medium can handle. "Those are amazing graphics, but I missed some of the detail -- not enough bandwidth, I guess." Compare low-bandwidth. This generalized usage began to go mainstream after the Internet population explosion of 1993-1994. Attention span. On Usenet, a measure of network capacity that is often wasted by people complaining about how items posted by others are a waste of bandwidth.	Broadband adj Of or relating to or being a communications network in which the bandwidth can be divided and shared by multiple simultaneous signals (as for voice or data or video) responding to or operating at a wide band of frequencies; "a broadband antenna" [syn: wideband] [communications] A transmission medium capable of supporting a wide range of frequencies, typically from audio up to video frequencies. It can carry multiple signals by dividing the total capacity of the medium into multiple, independent bandwidth channels, where each channel operates only on a specific range of frequencies.
Bandwidth = Maximum Throughput / Transmitting Nodes

WhoIs's	TraceRoute's	Ping's	Finger's
Allwhois VeriSign ARIN Userland      An Internet directory service, similar to finger, used to look up names of people on a remote server. Use whois through third-party utilites on Windows and Macintosh machines, and the command line interface in Unix. Most commonly, use whois to find domain ownerships and contact info.	traceroute.org IP-Plus VisualRoute belnet.be      A utility that allows you to see how information travels on the Net. Traceroute traces the path a packet takes as it is sent from your computer to a destination computer. Traceroute program can help evaluate which link in the Internet chain is responsible for the lag time.	MosCom Ping Gateway Ping to host HIS      Ping is a program that "bounces" a request off of another computer over a network to see if the remote computer is still responding. If the ping comes back, the remote computer is still alive.	St.John's cmu.edu Brett's Web      Finger is a program that you point at the username of someone on a networked system. Finger uncovers that person's full name, most recent log-in time, and other information. It's also used as a verb, meaning to apply the program to a username.
