For a given communication channel (for instance, a LAN segment using Ethernet ) the Bandwidth refers to the theoretical maximum data rate that the channel can support, for instance, 100 Mbps in a 100Base T network.

The throughput, instead, refers to the actual data rate achieved in a given communications channel, taking into account the different channel impairments.

For instance, in a LAN segment that uses the original Ethernet 802.3 standard (CSMA/CD), a frequent occurrence of collisions can take down the actual data rate from the theoretical 100 Mbps to a very lower figure, i.e., 5 Mbps.
