bitstroom
Bitstroom is a term used in information technology to denote a continuous sequence of binary digits, or bits, as they are produced, transmitted, or processed at the lowest level of a digital system. Unlike byte-oriented data models, a bitstroom emphasizes bit-level timing, synchronization, and rate, and it may be analyzed or manipulated without assuming fixed-byte boundaries. The term is seen in both general discussions of bit-level data streams and in Dutch-language technical literature where bitstroom is used interchangeable with bitstream.
In practice, a bitstroom may refer to raw bit sequences produced by a digital source, such as
Applications include modeling and simulation of communication channels, hardware design for serializers/deserializers, and low-level data tracing
This article uses bitstroom as a neutral descriptor for a continuous, low-level bit sequence and does not
