"The number of useful data bits transmitted each second by a modem or processed by a CPU (central processing unit), usually measured in bps (bits per second). Throughput speed often is higher than data transfer speed because of file compression. For example, if a 10KB (kilobyte) file is compressed to 5KB and then transmitted through a modem in one second, the data transfer speed is 5KBps (kilobytes per second) and the throughput speed is 10KBps."
