Bandwidth Delay Product Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Bandwidth Delay Product (BDP) is:

\[ \text{BDP} = \text{B} \times \text{D} \]

Where:

\(\text{BDP}\) is the bandwidth-delay product
\(\text{B}\) is the bandwidth or data link capacity (bits per second)
\(\text{D}\) is the round-trip delay (seconds)

Bandwidth Delay Product Definition

Bandwidth delay product is a term used in data communication to describe the product of the bandwidth (link capacity) and the round-trip delay time. This is a measure of the maximum amount of data on a network circuit at any given time.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Bandwidth or data link capacity (B) = 1000000 bits per second
Round-trip delay (D) = 0.1 seconds

Using the formula:

\[ \text{BDP} = 1000000 \times 0.1 = 100000 \text{ bits} \]

The Bandwidth Delay Product (BDP) is 100000 bits.
