Båndbreddekrævende

Båndbreddekrævende describes a service, application, or activity that utilizes a significant portion of available network bandwidth. In simpler terms, it's something that demands a lot of data transfer capacity to function effectively.

Common examples of båndbreddekrævende activities include streaming high-definition video, online gaming, large file downloads and uploads, and video conferencing. These activities require a constant and substantial flow of data between the user's device and the server or other connected devices.

The impact of båndbreddekrævende services can be felt by other users on the same network. If one user is heavily consuming bandwidth, others may experience slower internet speeds, buffering during video playback, or delays in online activities. This is because the total available bandwidth is a finite resource, and it is shared among all connected devices.

To mitigate issues caused by båndbreddekrævende activities, network administrators may implement Quality of Service (QoS) measures. QoS allows for prioritizing certain types of traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth, even when other services are consuming a large amount. Internet service providers also offer different bandwidth packages to cater to varying user needs, with higher bandwidth plans being more suitable for households or businesses with significant båndbreddekrævende demands.
