Knowledge Management
Term used to describe the use of information from disparate sources into one application.

Kbps
A measurement typically used to describe a modem's data transfer in kilobits (1000) per second. (note the k in this instance means 1000, not 1024 unlike Kb)

It is also used to describe data transfer in various different communication peripherals and/or ports.

A modem or port's data transfer capability is restricted by the communications line through which it communicates, most standard "dial up" connections support up to 56kbps which gives a data transfer of around 6Kb (6 x 1024 bytes) per second.
