throughputs
Data flow volumes
Throughputs is the plural of throughput, the amount of material or data processed through a system in a given time.
Engineers measure throughputs to compare efficiency across different machines, networks, or processes: The throughputs of both servers were nearly identical under heavy load.
The term appears most often in computing, manufacturing, and logistics.
