burst speed
Peak sprint rate
Burst speed is the maximum velocity an animal or machine can achieve in short spurts, as opposed to sustained cruising speed.
A cheetah's burst speed reaches seventy miles per hour, but only for seconds at a time.
In computing and networking, burst speed refers to temporary data transfer rates that exceed normal capacity: The connection allows burst speeds during low-traffic periods.
