	AGC	Auto Gain Control. A mechanism that regulates noise and
		audio volume by keeping the received signal of all
		participants balanced.

	Bandwidth	Defines the information carrying capacity of a channel. In
		analog systems, it is the difference between the highest
		frequency that a channel can carry and the lowest,
		measured in hertz. In digital systems, bandwidth is
		measured in bits per second. The larger a connection's
		bandwidth, the more data can be transmitted in a given
		amount of time, allowing for greater video resolution and
		more sites in a conference. For more information, see
		Line Rate.

	Bonding	Bandwidth ON Demand INterpolarity Group. A
		transmission protocol that aggregates two 64 Kbps B
		channels to function as one 128 Kbps channel. When
		using several BRI channels, Bonding means that only one
		D-channel serves all BRI channels, while the remaining
		D-channels are used for data transfer.
		See also: BRI.

	Bps, Kbps	Bits and kilobits per second; a unit of bandwidth, which is
		the amount of data that can flow during one second over a
		communications line (using a transmission medium).
		1 Kbps = 1000 Bps
