GLOSSARY
Algorithm | A formula or set of steps for solving a particular problem. To be an |
| algorithm, a set of rules must be unambiguous and have a clear stopping |
| point. |
Annex D | A frame relay standard extension dealing with the communication and |
| signaling between customer premises and equipment and frame relay |
| network equipment for the purpose of querying network status |
| information. |
B8ZS | Bipolar |
| 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 |
