Assalamualaikum steemians

How are you?Hope so everyone would be safe and sound just like me as I am also safe Alhamdulillah.....

Today I m going to share about bandwidth and resource credits in accordance to steem that what are these and many more about it...

What is bandwidth and resource credits?

Bandwidth

At Steem blockchain,the measure of data that is going to transmit is called its bandwidth.Every one have their own steem power here so bandwidth have dependance on the steem power a user carries at steemit so the users that have more steem power would have more bandwidth and vice versa.

When any user wants to post , comment and vote then all these things are done through transactions and for happening every transactions a little bit bandwidth is also required which depends on transaction size.So suppose that a user have utilized all available bandwidth by making a lot of transactions so now there is one and only way that the user have to wait for replenishment of bandwidth for making anymore transaction.

Resource credits

At steem blockchain there are certain resources that a user is allowed to consume and resource credits is best way to measuring that how many resources a user is allowed to consume.Its relation with steem power is just similar to bandwidth.It means that just like bandwidth,if there is more SP then it's good because allocated resources would be more in this regard and vice versa.

Amount to bandwidth was utilized according to transactions size but here resource credits amount depends upon complexities in a particular action so the more there will be complex action,the more there will be consumption of resource credits and vice versa.

Factors at which bandwidth depends

There are different factors for affecting bandwidth of blockchain like steem.

1)Size of blocks

Data is divided among different unit like structures which are called blocks and all blocks are added to blockchain we all know this also.If there would be more data then definitely it would be stored in large block which in turn requires high bandwidth.

2) Number of nodes

In my previous post I have explained about nodes that they are just like computers that are specifically designed for validation or verification transactions so if number of nodes would be more then bandwidth requirements would also increase so number of nodes have direct relationship with bandwidth.

3)Usage of consensus mechanism

Process at which nodes agree for transaction validation is termed as consensus so with consensus mechanism bandwidth requirements also varies like proof of work required more bandwidth than proof of stake consensus mechanism.

Conclusion

Bandwidth and resource credits both are very important for users and both makes Blockchain to carry out transactions in a more faster way so hopefully my explanation about both these terms either it is bandwidth or resource credits is enough to everyone and understood to all of you.

Thanks
