bithastighet
Bithastighet, or bit rate, is the rate at which bits are transmitted or processed in a digital system. It is commonly expressed in bits per second (bps) and is used to describe both network links and encoded media streams. In networking, bithastighet represents the maximum data that can be sent per unit time, while in media, it represents the amount of data used to represent audio or video over time.
Units and bitrate types: The most common units are kilobits per second (kbit/s or kbps) and megabits
Relation to quality and bandwidth: Higher bitrate generally allows higher quality for compressed audio or video,
Examples: A standard audio MP3 stream might use 128–320 kbps; high-quality streaming music often 256–320 kbps.
