What is Bandwidth Utilization? (Proxies Explained)

Bandwidth utilization is the measure of how much of the available bandwidth is being used at a given time. It’s expressed as a percentage and helps assess whether a network is underused, optimally used, or overloaded. Efficient bandwidth utilization is crucial for proxy networks, ensuring smooth performance without delays or interruptions.

Why It Matters in Proxy Networks:

  • Optimized Performance: Prevents bottlenecks and improves data flow.
  • Cost Management: Avoids overuse charges on limited bandwidth plans.

Task Efficiency: Ensures heavy tasks like web scraping run without hiccups.
