  2. Baud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baud

    The ratio is not necessarily an integer; in 4B3T coding, the bit rate is ⁠ 4 / 3 ⁠ of the baud rate. (A typical basic rate interface with a 160 kbit/s raw data rate operates at 120 kBd.) Codes with many symbols, and thus a bit rate higher than the symbol rate, are most useful on channels such as telephone lines with a limited bandwidth but ...

  3. Data-rate units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units

    The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...

  4. Serial port - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port

    The abbreviation is usually given together with the line speed in bits per second, as in "9600–8-N-1". The speed (or baud rate) includes bits for framing (stop bits, parity, etc.), thus the effective data rate is lower than the baud rate. For 8-N-1 encoding, only 80% of the bits are available for data (for every eight bits of data, ten bits ...

  5. What Does the Netflix Speed Rating Really Mean? - AOL

    If you do, Netflix just released the first in what promises to be a series of real-world speed ratings. The report ranks American Internet service providers by the speed by which an average ...

  6. Data rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate

    Data signaling rate or gross bit rate, a bit rate that includes protocol overhead; Symbol rate or baud rate, the number of symbol changes, waveform changes, or signaling events across the transmission medium per unit of time; Data-rate units, measures of the bit rate or baud rate of a link

  7. List of interface bit rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interface_bit_rates

    Contention in a wireless or noisy spectrum, where the physical medium is entirely out of the control of those who specify the protocol, requires measures that also use up throughput. Wireless devices, BPL, and modems may produce a higher line rate or gross bit rate, due to error-correcting codes and other physical layer overhead. It is ...

  8. Symbol rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_rate

    Example of use and misuse of "baud rate": It is correct to write "the baud rate of my COM port is 9,600" if we mean that the bit rate is 9,600 bit/s, since there is one bit per symbol in this case. It is not correct to write "the baud rate of Ethernet is 100 megabaud" or "the baud rate of my modem is 56,000" if we mean bit rate. See below for ...

  9. Asynchronous serial communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_serial...

    The speed or bits per second of the line (equal to the Baud rate when each symbol represents one bit). Some systems use automatic speed detection, also called automatic baud rate detection. Whether to use or not use parity; Odd or even parity, if used; The number of stop bits sent must be chosen (the number sent must be at least what the ...
