Hey, sorry about doing another but forgot to put this in my other one when i was typing it but if you will answer that question: "How is Bandwitch created?" that would be really nice.

"Bandwitch" or Sandwich. Or Bandwidth ?
Rocketlaunch
yeah sorry about that. At the time i had just learned about bandwidth and so i could not spell it. Please post me a message and tell me what bandwidth is. Thank you.

From whatis.techtarget.com, a rather technical definition:

Bandwidth (the width of a band of electromagnetic frequencies) is used to mean (1) how fast data flows on a given transmission path, and (2), somewhat more technically, the width of the range of frequencies that an electronic signal occupies on a given transmission medium. Any digital or analog signal has a bandwidth. Generally speaking, bandwidth is directly proportional to the amount of data transmitted or received per unit time. In a qualitative sense, bandwidth is proportional to the complexity of the data for a given level of system performance. For example, it takes more bandwidth to download a photograph in one second than it takes to download a page of text in one second. Large sound files, computer programs, and animated videos require still more bandwidth for acceptable system performance. Virtual reality (VR) and full-length three-dimensional audio/visual presentations require the most bandwidth of all. In digital systems, bandwidth is expressed as data speed in bits per second (bps). Thus, a modem that works at 57,600 bps has twice the bandwidth of a modem that works at 28,800 bps. In analog systems, bandwidth is expressed in terms of the difference between the highest-frequency signal component and the lowest-frequency signal component. frequency is measured in the number of cycles of change per second, or hertz. A typical voice signal has a bandwidth of approximately three kilohertz (3 kHz); an analog television (TV) broadcast video signal has a bandwidth of six megahertz (6 MHz) -- some 2,000 times as wide as the voice signal. Communications engineers once strove to minimize the bandwidths of all signals, while maintaining a minimum acceptable level of system performance. This was done for at least two reasons: (1) low-bandwidth signals are less susceptible to noise interference than high-bandwidth signals; and (2) low-bandwidth signals allow for a greater number of communications exchanges to take place within a specified band of frequencies. However, this simple rule no longer applies in general. For example, in spread spectrum communications, the bandwidths of signals are deliberately expanded. In digital cable and fiber optic systems, the demand for ever-increasing data speeds outweighs the need for bandwidth conservation. In the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, there is only so much available bandwidth to go around, but in hard-wired systems, available bandwidth can literally be constructed without limit by installing more and more cables. |

Well, bandwitch was created with Samantha mated with the Kiss and they had a daughter.

Why would you want to know how bandwidth is created? Simply put, it's just there after to connect two nodes, allowing them to communicate. But I doubt whether that is what u really intend to ask.
Rocketlaunch
the reason i asked why bandwidth is created b/c some where it all starts and someone is makin alot of money b/c people who sell bandwidth like for a t3 like make megaloads of money. I just wanted to know how they do that.

hmm
bandwidth created... hmm... how is air created? how is light created? i mean... there probably are scientific explanations to it all... but to us regular folk... "its just there"... as stated earlier... bandwidth = communications capability between two or more parties... if 'a' can talk to 'b'... and 'b' can talk to 'c'... and 'c' can talk to 'd'... if 'a' wanted to talk to 'd'... it'd have to buy transit from 'b' (because 'a' isn't directly connected to a node that has direct access to the destination)... 'b' would buy transit from 'c'... and assuming peering is a possibility in the situation... and 'c' would use its peering (sharing of data between eachother)... feed with 'd'... and the communications would happen...
but if 'a' wanted to talk to 'b'... 'a' would just use its peering with 'b', instead of transit... transit and transport technically can go over the same physical link (channelizing/partitioning)... but in most cases, it goes over separate physical links... regardless... it is possible for 'a' and 'b' (or any other node directly connected to another) to have both peering and transit between them...
transit refers to buying network capacity to get data to a 3rd party available eventually through a directly connected network...
confusing as hell, eh? i don't understand it myself from the way i wrote it on there... hmm... lol
Rocketlaunch... as for making megaloads of money... its just being a broker... like being a broker in any other commodity... or a stock broker for example... takes capacity from client 'a' and sells it to client 'b' for a profit... your friend is paying someone for that capacity... and selling it off to someone else for more than what he's paying...

Well you could always run your own number of T3 cables from your "datacenter" to the nearest backbone
Then you can carve it up and sell it on.Or, you can buy the bandwidth of a telecoms provider who has plenty for sale and sell that on as well.
Whoever builds a link between a physical place and the internet backbone creates bandwidth... actually sounds like a proverb .....

Oh ok I think i get it all now. Well thanks alot.

Rocketlaunch,
Some of these explanations have been very technical.
In the web hosting use of the term, it means the amount of data you are allowed to pass to and from your web hosting account in the month. This would normally include
All of the email in and out +
All FTP traffic in and out +
All html traffic in and out +
All telnet / SSH traffic in and out +
(possibly) any administrative activity between servers in the data center.
However, the question you should also ask is are they talking bytes or bits? For example, if you get 1 Gig of bandwidth, does that represent 1,000 Megabytes or 1,000 Megabits (125 Megabytes since 1 byte = 8 bits).
I think it means bits since bandwidth in the technical terms generally refers to bits (ie: 57,600 bps means 57,600 bits per second or 7,200 bytes per second).
