	Bit rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is quantified using hertz, the SI unit of frequency, or the bit per second (bit/s) unit.
		The formal abbreviation for “bit per second” is “bit/s” (not “bits/s”).
		“Bit rate” is sometimes used interchangeably with “baud rate”, which is correct only when each modulation transition of a data transmission system carries exactly one bit of data (something not true for modern modem modulation systems, for example).

		In data communications, bits per second (abbreviated bps and, by some, bit/sec) is a common measure of data speed for computer modems and transmission carriers.
		One kilobit per second (abbreviated Kbps in the U.S.; kbps elsewhere) is equal to 1,000 bps.
		One megabit per second (Mbps) is equal to 1,000,000 bps or 1,000 Kbps.

	Definition: bits per second (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		bits per second (b/s): A unit used to express the number of bits passing a designated point per second.
		Note 1: For example, for two-condition serial transmission in a single channel in which each significant condition represents a bit, i.e., a 0 or a 1, the bit rate in bits per second and the baud have the same numerical value only if each bit occurs in a unit interval.
		In this case, the data signaling rate in bits per second is 1/T, where T is the unit interval.

		Mbps stands for millions of bits per second or megabits per second and is a measure of bandwidth (the total information flow over a given time) on a telecommunications medium.
		Although the bit is a unit of the binary number system, bits in data communications are discrete signal pulses and have historically been counted using the decimal number system.

		If the modem could signal two bit values for each signal change, the bit per second rate would be twice the baud rate, or 600 bps at 300 baud.
		Most modems transmit several bits per baud, so that the actual baud rate is much slower than the bit per second rate, which is the true gauge of communications speed.

		Thus the number of bits per hour transmitted by each station is [512-18] x 8 bits per opportunity x 628,491 opportunities per hour = 2,483,796,432 bits per hour ~ 2.5 Gb per hour.

		In data communications, a bit per second (abbreviated bps and, by some, bit/sec) is a common measure of data speed for computer modems and transmission carriers.
		Because bits are made up using the binary (base two) number system, their multiples must also be powers of two i.e., a dilobit is actually 1024 bits and a megabit 1048576 bits.
		Because data in telecommunications is usually transported in serial (in other words, one bit after the other), speed data is given in bits per second.
