Bandwidth
- The transmission capacity of a given device or network.
Bandwidth Assignments
- Indicates the amount of bandwidth assigned to a specific application, user, and/or
interface.
Baud
- Indicates the number of signaling elements transmitted each second.
Best Effort
- Indicates that traffic is assigned to the lowest priority queue, and packet delivery is not guaranteed.
Bit
- A binary digit.
Boot
- To start a device and cause it to start executing instructions.
Browser
- An application program that provides a way to look at and interact with all the information on the
World Wide Web.
Bridge
- A device that connect two networks. Bridges are hardware specific, however they are protocol
independent. Bridges operate at Layer 1 and Layer 2 levels.
Broadcast Domain
- Devices sets that receive broadcast frames originating from any device within a designated
set. Routers bind Broadcast domains, because routers do not forward broadcast frames.
Broadcast Storm
- An excessive amount of broadcast messages simultaneously transmitted across a network
by a single port. Forwarded message responses are heaped onto the network, overloading network resources or
causing the network to time out.
Burst
- A packet transmission at faster than normal rates. Bursts are limited in time and only occur under
specific conditions.
Burst Size
- Indicates the burst size transmitted at a faster than normal rate.
Byte
- A unit of data that is usually eight bits long
Cable Modem
- A device that connects a computer to the cable television network, which in turn connects to the
Internet.
CBS

interval.
CIR

Class Maps
- An aspect of Quality of Service system that is comprised of an IP ACL and/or a MAC ACL. Class
maps are configured to match packet criteria, and are matched to packets in a first-fit fashion.
