rule A scientific law stating that all atoms, except those of hydrogen and helium, require eight electrons in the outermost energy level to maintain chemical stability.
A term for eight (8) bits that is sometimes used interchangeably with "byte" to mean the same thing.
An array of eight bits represented as a single unit (a byte).
Number that represents the unsigned value of an 8-bit byte. The decimal number `255' represents the maximum value of an unsigned 8 bit byte. See dotted-decimal notation.
An octet is 8 bits. This term is used in networking, rather than byte, because some systems have bytes that are not 8 bits long.
Eight bits make an octet. Many MIBs have a managed object for counting the number of octets received by the MAC, the port or the index.
Eight bits. In networking, this term is sometimes used instead of "byte," because some systems have bytes that are not 8 bits long. WWWebfx Home Page
A 3 year action research project based on eight schools to find new and innovative ways to raise standards whilst facing exceptionally challenging circumstances.
Literally, eight objects. Used to describe the tendency of main-group elements to have eight valence-shell electrons in their compounds.
An eight-person, sixteen-oared scull. Very rare.
Eight contiguous bits, or a byte. The term was created because some computer systems attached to the Internet used a byte with more than eight bits.
A set of eight electrons in the valence shell of an atom.
Eight bits. Octet is sometimes used instead of the term byte to avoid confusion, because not all computer systems use bytes that are eight bits long.
A byte which explicitly contains eight bits.
eight performers or singers who perform together
a set of eight similar things considered as a unit
eight people considered as a unit
a musical composition written for eight performers
Term for each of the four 8-bit numbers that make up an IP address. For example, the IP address 206.96.103.114 has four octets.
An eight bit data signal. (7/96)
eight performers or a piece for eight performers
In programming, an octet refers to eight bits or one byte. IP addresses, for example, are typically represented in dotted-decimal notation; that is, with the decimal value of each octet of the address separated by a period. See also IP address.
A stable group of eight electrons in the outer shell of an atom.
A piece for eight instruments or voices.
A group of eight performers - or any piece written for that combination of instruments.
Byte of eight binary digits usually operated upon as an entity.
n. A byte that consists of 8 bits.
A byte composed of eight binary elements.
A grouping of eight bits in packet switched networks similar, but not identical to, a byte.
A networking term that identifies 8 bits. In TCP/IP, it is used instead of byte, because some systems have bytes that are not 8 bits.
A collection of 8 real bits, today also similar to "byte".
8 bits. In networking, the term octet is often used (rather than byte) because some machine architectures employ bytes that are not 8 bits long. P-P-P
A group of eight bits, also called a byte.
Synonym for byte. A basic digital unit. A byte is equal to eight bits.
An 8-bit quantity, or byte.
(1) A byte that consists of 8 bits. (2) A byte composed of 8 binary elements.
A set of eight valence electrons.
n. An 8-bit quantity. Compare byte.
Eight (8) bits. Another term for a byte. However, a byte is not defined in all digital systems as 8 bits so the term 'octet' is used.
An octet is eight (8) bits. In networking the term "octet" is often used (rather than "byte") since some machine architectures employ bytes which are not 8 bits long.
One of the four number groups in an IP address. Although it is three decimal digits, it is derived from an eight-digit binary number, hence the term 'octet'.
A piece written for eight parts, or the group that performs such a piece.
Alternative term for a set of eight bits (i.e., a byte).
A byte. Used instead of "byte" in most IP documents because historically many hosts did not use 8-bit bytes. For a full discussion, read the LiveSecurity article, " Foundations: Understanding IP Addresses and Binary."
8-bit byte. Used instead of byte when talking about packet services.
A unit of information consisting of 8 bits.
The Internet's own term for eight bits or a byte. Some computer systems attached to the Internet have used a byte with more than eight bits, hence the need for this term. ... more
n. A unit of data that consists of exactly 8 bits, regardless of the number of bits a computer uses to represent a small amount of information such as a character. Compare byte.
A single, 8-bit unit of data; term used in networking rather than the term byte because some systems have bytes that are not 8-bits long.
In computing, an octet is a grouping of eight bits.
In music, an octet is a musical ensemble consisting of eight instruments or a musical composition written for it.
