Throughput refers to the amount of data or the number of transactions that can be processed by a system or network over a specific period of time. It is commonly used in contexts like networking, computing, and manufacturing to measure efficiency and performance. A higher throughput indicates a more efficient system capable of handling more work or data in less time.
The term "throughput" is sometimes used interchangeably with "bandwidth." While bandwidth refers to the maximum data transfer capacity of a network, throughput refers to the actual amount of data successfully transmitted over that network in a given time frame. Both terms are related to data transmission, but they highlight different aspects of network performance.

The term is "stratification."
