      Hi DG,

      Bandwidth is how much data you can transfer in a period of time. The amount of bandwidth you have determines how fast you can send data. So, if you think of it as a race, low bandwidth is racing with a turtle and high bandwidth, racing with a cheetah, they both get to the finish line, but the cheetah gets there first!

      DG, the amount of bandwidth will have an effect on a broadcast storm. If you had very high bandwidth, then it means when there’s a broadcast storm, then the messages get delivered quickly that it doesn’t affect the network
