 Bits per second : Bps 

In information theory, a bit per second (b/s) is a unit used to express the number of bits passing a designated point per second. See also telecommunication.

Note 1: For example, for two-condition serial transmission in a single channel in which each significant condition represents a bit, i.e., a 0 or a 1, the bit rate[?] in bits per second and the baud have the same numerical value only if each bit occurs in a unit interval. In this case, the data signaling rate in bits per second is 1/T, where T is the unit interval.

Note 2: The abbreviation "bps" isn't in accordance with international standards, and is therefore deprecated.
