Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred through a cable at any one period of time. You can compare it to the motorway. For example, the number of lanes is the bandwidth,the signs and maps are the network connections, and all of the vehicles on the road at that period in time is the transferring data.
On the right is data traveling along a data cable.
You can monitor bandwidth and this video tells you more about Bandwidth monitoring.
As data is sent over a network, it is broken up into smaller chunks. These chunks are called packets. The size of the bandwidth determines how fast the data is transmitted.
