is / Are

1. The remainder of the data rate are/is the overhead bits that are required for transmission. (Do I use 'are' or 'is' for that bold part of the sentence? Is the subject 'remainder'? If so, I should use 'is' right?)

Thanks.

My bandwidth is 24Mbit per second. The word 'bandwidth' is a synonym for the words 'data transfer rate'. [ This is purley in computer networking. Their may be different definitions for other electronic communications.]
