Bit rate is a measure of the number of data bits (that's 0's and 1's) transmitte d in one second.

A figure of 2400 bits per second means 2400 zeros or ones can b e transmitted in one second, hence the abbreviation 'bps'. Baud rate by definition means the number of times a signal in a communications c hannel changes state. For example, a 2400 baud rate means that the channel can c hange states up to 2400 times per second. When I say 'change state' I mean that it can change from 0 to 1 up to 2400 times per second. baud rate can be seen as number of symbols per second. I.e say you have 8 symbol s . In binary you need 3 bits to represent 8 symbols. 000 to 111. Now, if a syst em can transmit 8 symbols in one second you say baud rate is 8 and equivalent bi t rate is 24 bit/sec (8X3).
