==Channel utilization and efficiency==
Throughput is sometimes normalized and measured in percentage, but normalization may cause confusion regarding what the percentage is related to. ''[[Channel utilization]]'', ''[[channel efficiency]]'' and ''[[Packet loss|packet drop rate]]'' in percentage are less ambiguous terms.
 
The channel efficiency, also known as [[bandwidth utilization efficiency]], is the percentage of the [[net bit rate]] (in bit/s) of a digital [[communication channel]] that goes to the actually achieved throughput. For example, if the throughput is 70 Mbit/s in a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connection, the channel efficiency is 70%. In this example, effectively 70 Mbit of data are transmitted every second.
