Network-Packets

[Sunil Ghai]

Hello guys,
I know this is not the right place for asking about this but i am sure some
of you must have an idea about this.
I have a bit knowledge about networking and protocols. I would like to know
what do we actually mean by "Bandwidth". As in if a person is allowed to
download stuff of about 400MB than is it the size of all the Packets the
system recieves? and if by some reason the operating system discards the
packet it recieves and does not forward to the appropiate application
through port number then that packet size gets include in the limited access
of user or not?
I am really in need to get clear this point.
Thanks alot in advance..
