GL-2 Reference Guide

Bandwidth: The range of frequencies, expressed in Kilobits per second, that can pass over a given data transmission channel within a frame relay network. The bandwidth determines the rate at which information can be sent through a channel - the greater the bandwidth, the more information that can be sent in a given amount of time.

baud rate: The rate of the signaling speed of a transmission medium.

Be (Excess Burst Size): The maximum amount of uncommitted data (in bits) in excess of Bc that a frame relay network can attempt to deliver during a time interval Tc. This data (Be) generally is delivered with a lower probability than Bc. The network treats Be data as discard eligible. See also Committed Burst Size (Bc ).

BECN (Backward Explicit Congestion Notification): A bit set by a frame relay network to notify an interface device (DTE) that congestion avoidance procedures should be initiated by the sending device.

bit: A binary digit; the smallest unit of data in the binary counting system. A bit has a value of either 0 or 1.

bits per second (bps): A measure of the actual data transmission rate. The bps rate may be equal to or greater than the baud rate depending on the modulation technique used to encode bits into each baud interval. The correct term to use when describing modem data transfer speeds.

bps: See bits per second.

branch: A length of cable in a star network that goes from the center of the star to a wall jack.
