... represents the number of bits that are transmitted within a second in a digital communication, measured in bits per second (bps). The faster the bit rate, the shorter the bit interval (the interval ... one bit in a single bit interval. In general, the longer the bit interval, the slower the transmission rate. For example, when encoding a single bit at a time, a bit interval of .01 second ... sent to a node on another network. At the same time, the bridge discards any packets intended for the originating network (rather than passing these to the other network). The terms bridge and...
