What is a bottleneck in a network?

Can someone tell me what it is? I tried google, but it talks about the computer system, not a network

it would be a part of the network that causes a slow down. example would be a 10mbps switch in a network of 100mbps routers. the traffic would have to slow down to get through that switch, which is 1/10 the speed of the other hardware.
