Bandwidth
This is a measure of the amount of bits we can transmit over a channel
• Its units are BPS, Bits Per Second
Anybody know some popular bandwidths? • Ethernet = {10/100/1000} mbps • Wi-Fi (802.11g) = 54 mbps • USB = 480 mbps • r-one radio: 2 mbps, IR: 1.25 kbps

If we’re sending so many bits so quickly, how do we
tell them apart?

Telling one bit from another
A continuous stream of bits is hard to deal with.
Imagine a computer network: You might have many questions about these bits:
• Are these bits for you? • Where did these bits come from? • What do these bits mean? • Are these bits error-free?

The Packet
A packet is a chunk of data with a well-defined beginning, end, and structure
A packet has four parts: • Some kind of start indication that tells the network that a packet is
starting • Some kind of header that tells the network what the packet is,
where it is from, and where it is going • Some kind of data. That’s kind of the point of the packet… • Some kind of error detection to check the validity of the packet.
start header data error detection
