| Available Bit Rate | A service used in ATM networks when source and destination don't need to be synchronized. ABR does not guarantee against delay or data loss. (references) | ||
| Average bit rate | Average bit rate refers to the average amount of data transferred per second. This is commonly referred to for digital music or video. An mp3 file, for example, that has an average bit rate of 128 kbit/s transfers, on average, 128,000 bits every second. Bit rate is not the only measure of audio/video quality, as some formats such as wma and ogg produce higher sound quality than the standard mp3 format at the same bit rate. (references) | ||
| Bit rate | In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (sometimes written bitrate or Rbit) is the frequency at which bits are passing a given (physical or metaphorical) “point”. It is quantified using hertz, the SI unit of frequency, or the bit per second (bit/s) unit. (references) | ||
| Constant bit rate | Constant bit rate (CBR) is a term used in telecommunications, relating to the quality of service. Compare with variable bit rate. (references) | ||
