​KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – bit-oriented protocol:
A bit-oriented protocol is a type of communication protocol in which information is transmitted as a continuous stream of bits rather than as separate characters. Because the transmitted bits do not represent specific characters directly, control information is conveyed using special bit sequences rather than reserved characters from a character set.
This method allows greater flexibility and efficiency in data communication systems. An example of a bit-oriented protocol is High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), which uses defined bit patterns to manage communication between devices.
