===Peak measured throughput===
{{unsourced section|date=May 2025}}
Where asymptotic throughput is a theoretical or calculated capacity, ''peak measured throughput'' is throughput measured on a real implemented system, or on a simulated system. The value is the throughput measured over a short period of time; mathematically, this is the limit taken with respect to throughput as time approaches zero. This term is synonymous with ''instantaneous throughput''. This number is useful for systems that rely on burst data transmission; however, for systems with a high [[duty cycle]], this is less likely to be a useful measure of system performance.<!--[[User:Kvng/RTH]]-->
