The width, in Hertz, of the pass-band of any equipment that can process information. Most computer data transfer works at base-band (unlike radio transmitters, which usually operate on some higher wave band) so the bandwidth is usually equal to its baud rate.
Our network has a 10 MHz bandwidth, so it can pass an absolute maximum of ten million bits per second, i.e. it works only up to 10 Mb (ten mega baud)

Binary digIT - the least amount of information there is, i.e. yes or no, true or false, on or off. Eight bits make a byte

bits per second; rate of information transfer, hence 'baud-rate'; see Information theory; also kilo-baud (kb)- thousands of baud, mega-baud (Mb) - millions of baud.

Some people would say camel case, but actually camels only have humps in the middle likeThis. People are now calling bi-capitalisation PascalCase, cos in the old days we used to use it for names of things in the computer language called Pascal.

Like broadcast, but the information is aimed at a specific, limited audience. This is usually only possible on a network like the Internet, not with a radio transmitter.
