TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Depending on what you are writing, throughput is a technical term understood
by
network engineers and measures speeds of data transmission. I used to write
for the router industry,
and it a common term in that industry. Again, depending on what you are
writing, engineers/user
might not understand an alternate word.
See definition below:
*Throughput is the rate at which a computer or network sends or receives
data.*
