B8ZS Bipolar 8-Zero Substitution, a coding scheme that maintains ones
density.
bandwidth The amount of data that can travel through a channel in a given period of
time. Bandwidth is usually measured in cycles per second (hertz) or in
bits per second (BPS). The larger the bandwidth, the more information
the network can handle. ISDN is usually 64KB, 128KB or 256KB.
ASDL and DSL are generally faster than ISDN and sometimes faster
than cable. Cable connections are usually 500KB or 1MB. T1 is 1.5MB
and T3 is 45MB.
bit Contraction of the words “binary” and “digit”.
bps Bits per second
