throughput
是链路利用率或每秒的流速(字节每秒)。
goodput
是throughput的子集,由有用的流量组成。
也就是说,"goodput"不包括重复包、将被downstream丢掉的包或由于无法重组为完整包而要在接收端被丢掉的ATM信元和分组片段等。

Throughput is sometimes distinguished from goodput, where throughput is the link utilization or flow rate in bytes per second; goodput, also measured in bytes per second, is the subset of throughput consisting of useful traffic. That is, ’goodput’ excludes duplicate packets, packets that will be dropped downstream, packet fragments or ATM cells that are dropped at the receiver because they can’t be re-assembled into complete packets, and the like.
