Access Line: A telephone line reaching from the telephone company central office to a point usually on your 
premises. Beyond this point the wire is considered inside wiring. See also Trunk Line.
analog: In telecommunications, telephone transmission and/or switching that is not digital. An analog phone 
transmission is one that was originally intended to carr y speech or voice, but may with appropriate 
modifications be used to carr y data of other types.
ANSI (American National Standards Institute): Devises and proposes recommendations for international 
communications standards. See also Comite Consultatif International Telegraphique et Telephonique (CCITT).
backbone:  A network topology consisting of a single length of cable with multiple network connection points. 
Bandwidth: The range of frequencies, expressed in Kilobits per second, that can pass over a given data 
transmission channel within a 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.
BAP: Bandwidth Allocation Protocol. Manages the dynamic bandwidth allocation of implementations               
suppor ting the PPP multilink protocol. This is done by defining the Bandwidth Allocation Protocol (BAP),               
as well as its associated control protocol, the Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP). BAP can be               
used to manage the number of links in a multilink bundle. 
baud rate: The rate of the signaling speed of a transmission medium. 
bit: A binar y digit; the smallest unit of data in the binar y 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 inter val. 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.
broadcast: A network transaction that sends data to all hosts connected to the network.
Burstiness: Data that uses bandwidth only sporadically; that is, information that does not use the total 
bandwidth of a circuit 100 percent of the time. During pauses, channels are idle; and no traffic flows across 
them in either direction. Interactive and LAN-to-LAN data is bursty in nature, because it is sent intermittently, 
and in between data transmission the channel experiences idle time waiting for the DTEs to respond to the 
transmitted data user’s input of waiting for the user to send more data.
byte: A group of bits, normally eight, which represent one data character.
CallerID: See CND.
CCITT (Comite Consultatif International Telegraphique et Telephonique): International Consultative 
Committee for Telegraphy and Telephony, a standards organization that devises and proposes recommenda-
tions for international communications. See also ANSI (American National Standards Institute).
CHAP (challenge handshake protocol): A method for ensuring secure network access and communications.
