B

bandwidth

The transmission capacity of a medium in terms of a range of frequencies. Greater bandwidth

 

indicates the ability to transmit more data over a given period of time.

Baseline

An optional feature that encrypts data between the CMTS and the cable modem or gateway.

Privacy

Protection of service is provided by ensuring that a cable modem or gateway, uniquely identified by its

 

MAC address, can only obtain keys for services it is authorized to access.

baud

The analog signaling rate. For complex modulation modes, the digital bit rate is encoded in multiple

 

bits per baud, for example, 64 QAM encodes 6 bits per baud and 16 QAM encodes 4 bits per baud.

BCP

Binary Communication Protocol

BER

The bit error rate is the ratio of the number of erroneous bits or characters received from some fixed

 

number of bits transmitted.

binary

A numbering system that uses two digits, 0 and 1.

bit rate

The number of bits (digital 0s and 1s) transmitted per second in a communications channel. It is

 

usually measured in bits per second bps.

BPKM

Baseline Protocol Key Management encrypts data flows between a cable modem or gateway and the

 

CMTS. The encryption occurs after the cable modem or gateway registers to ensure data privacy

 

across the RF network.

bps

bits per second

bridge

An OSI layer 2 networking device that connects two LANs using similar protocols. It filters frames

 

based on the MAC address to reduce the amount of traffic. A bridge can be placed between two

 

groups of hosts that communicate a lot together, but not so much with the hosts in the other group.

 

The bridge examines the destination of each packet to determine whether to transmit it to the other

 

side. See also switch.

broadband

High bandwidth network technology that multiplexes multiple, independent carriers to carry voice,

 

video, data, and other interactive services over a single cable. A communications medium that can

 

transmit a relatively large amount of data in a given time period. A frequently used synonym for cable

 

TV that can describe any technology capable of delivering multiple channels and services.

broadcast

Simultaneous transmission to multiple network devices; a protocol mechanism supporting group and

 

universal addressing. See also multicast and unicast.
