bandwidthoptimering
Bandwidth optimization, often written in Danish as bandwidthoptimering, is the practice of increasing the efficiency of data transfer over a network by reducing wasted bandwidth and improving usable throughput. The aim is to maximize data delivery with the least resources, enhancing user experience and lowering operational costs. Bandwidth optimization is relevant for enterprise networks, data centers, cloud services, mobile networks, and internet service providers, where traffic patterns are complex and peak demand can overwhelm capacity.
Techniques commonly employed include traffic shaping and rate limiting to prioritize essential traffic and smooth bursts;
Key performance indicators include utilization, goodput (effective data transfer rate), latency, jitter, packet loss, and retransmission
Applications range from corporate WAN and data center interconnects to ISP backbone optimization and mobile network
