1. Baud was the prevalent measure for data transmission speed until replaced by a more accurate term, bps (bits per second)

2. In contextcomputinginformallang=en terms the difference between bps and Baud is that bps is (computinginformal) Baud rate while Baud is (computinginformal) synonym for bps (bits per second), regardless of how many signalling events are necessary to signal each bit
