Data rate
Data rate and data transfer rate can refer to several related and overlapping concepts in communications networks:
Achieved rate
- Bit rate, the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time
- Data signaling rate or gross bit rate, a bit rate that includes protocol overhead
- Symbol rate or baud rate, the number of symbol changes, waveform changes, or signaling events across the transmission medium per unit of time
- Data rate units, measures of the bit rate or baud rate of a link
- Data transfer rate (disk drive), a data rate specific to disk drive operations
- Throughput, the rate of successful message delivery, or level of bandwidth consumption
Capacity
- Bandwidth (computing), the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path
- Channel capacity, an information-theoretic upper bound on the rate at which data can be reliably transmitted, given noise on a channel
gollark: I did actually run LDAP (well, openLDAP slapd) for a bit for single sign-on purposes, but dropped it because the only web-based software for managing it was written in PHP, and it was old and weirdly designed.
gollark: Yes, LDAP is pretty much the standard for user database things.
gollark: That's probably fine maybe. You should try to have a reset option if it makes sense.
gollark: I only write for my own systems and whoever is unfortunate enough to try and clone my poorly documented repos so I can use whatever.
gollark: I also don't see why you need a 10D array over just a long 1D one.
