The number of Bits per second that a channel will support forms the basis of the capacity characteristic of a digital signal. The capacity characteristic that a digital signal supports is the BIT rate. As an example, a transmission facility that has the capacity to support information exchange at a rate of 1 megabit per second (1,000,000 bits per second or 1 Mbps) can deliver exactly the same quantity of information, as a transmission at 1 kilobit per second (1,000 bits per second or 1kbps) however it can do so in only 1/1000 of the time.

The number of bits transmitted over a telephone line per second.

The speed at which digital audio and video content is streamed from a source, such as a file, to be rendered properly by a player, or the speed at which binary content in general is streamed on a network. Bit rate is usually measured in kilobits per second (Kbps), for example, 28.8 Kbps. The bit rate of a Mpeg-4 file or live stream is determined during the encoding process, when the streaming content is created. Bandwidth is the total bit rate capacity of a network. For audio and video content to render properly when streaming over a network, the bandwidth of the network must be high enough to accommodate the bit rates of all the different content that is concurrently being streamed.
