Question 5

Define baud, bps and Bps. How are these interlinked ?

Answer

Baud is the unit of measurement for the information carrying capacity of a communication channel. It is synonymous with bps (bits per second).

bps refers to bits per second. It refers to the speed at which data transfer is measured. It is generally used to measure the speed of information through high speed phone lines or modems.

Bps refers to bytes per second.

All these terms are units of measurement for the information carrying capacity of a communication channel.
