Carrier Access CMG Router user manual Algorithm, Annex D, Bandwidth, Bit, Bps

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 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
