Bandwidth allocation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bandwidth allocation refers to various methods used in the communications industry to design and assign frequency channels to different wireless applications.

Bandwidth allocation can also be used in reference to the computing industry, in scenarios such as allocating bandwidth to a web site running on a server, or allocating bandwidth to a computer on a network. Allocations in computing are often administered/enforced by terminating or temporarily suspending access once the allocated bandwidth has been utilized.
