Bandwidth is a description of how much information can squeeze through a data pipe. For digital devices, the bandwidth is usually expressed in bits per second or bytes per second. For analog devices, the bandwidth is expressed in cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz). Your intranet has high bandwidth; your dial-up connection is low bandwidth. Also used anthropomorphically, e.g. "He has low bandwidth" is equivalent to "He is a taco short of a combo plate" or "Her elevator doesn't go all the way to the top."

The speed at which data travels from one place to another on a computer network, such as the Internet.

An easily updated personal website, generally updated daily and expressing. Abbreviation for Web Log.

Used to describe a network connection that supports a relatively high bit rate. Also used to describe content that takes advantage of a high bit rate connection. Unscientific term for sufficient bandwidth to receive streaming video and sound. Usually refers to bandwidth equal to or greater than DSL or Cable Modem speed.

Space allocated on a system's Random Access Memory (RAM) where data is stored temporarily until it is transferred to another part of the system. In streaming applications, buffers store video or audio data until there is enough information for the stream to be composed.
