[ippm] a question on 'speeds'

["Victor Reijs (work)" <victor.reijs at heanet.ie>]

Hello all of you,

Is there a good reference to the definition of the words: bandwidth, 
rate, capacity, speed?
In some way I want to put in a document a few things:
. the actual bit/s a user can sent of the link: Here Available 
Bandwidth, Bottleneck bandwidth but also bulk transfer capacity (tcp) 
come into thought. But what is the best word here?
. we have an interface speed, so something that is physically determined 
by a clock speed). Is that speed or rate or ???

Any help in finding defined terms can help me.

Thanks.


All the best,


Victor
