Topic 4.1 · Interactive concept example

Bandwidth is capacity; latency is delay

  • Bits and bytes
  • Bits per second
  • Capacity versus startup delay

Change it · step through · explain

Change an input, predict what will happen, then advance one step. Read why the state changes, reset and experiment. This fixed teaching model does not save progress or award XP.

Why: Change an input, predict the first effect, then advance one step.

Try this: Change one input or choose another listed case. Predict the effect, reset and compare the states and governing rule.
