Network Throughput
Calculate effective data transfer rate.
Throughput = Successfully Transferred Data / Time
Formula Explanation
Throughput measures the rate at which data is successfully delivered over a network.
Variables Explained

Solved Example
A network transfers 500 MB in 100 seconds.
Throughput = 500 / 100 = 5 MB/s.
