How do goodput, throughput, and bandwidth relate to network data transmissions?
- Goodput is always lower than throughput, which is generally lower than bandwidth.
- Throughput is always lower than goodput, which is generally lower than bandwidth.
- Goodput is always lower than bandwidth, which is generally lower than throughput.
- Throughput is always lower than bandwidth, which is generally lower than goodput.
Explanation: Bandwidth is the capacity at which a medium can carry data, so it is always higher than throughput and goodput. Goodput is throughput minus traffic overhead for establishing sessions, acknowledgments, encapsulation, and retransmitted bits, so it is always lower than throughput.
