{wiki=Goodput}
Goodput refers to the measure of useful transmitted data over a network, excluding protocol overhead, retransmissions, and any other non-useful data. Essentially, it represents the actual amount of data that is successfully delivered to the receiver and can be used by the application layer. Goodput is a critical metric for evaluating network performance as it provides a clearer picture of how much useful information is being effectively communicated.
