BASICS PROBLEM WANT TO KNOW ABOUT OCTET

Question

WHAT IS OCTET? DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BYTE AND OCTET? WHY WE NEED TO USE OCTET AND WHERE IS USEFUL FOR USE?

Nigel Fernandes · Answer

Octet is the correct form for 8 bits. Even though we often use byte to represent 8 bits there are systems that use other than 8 bits for a byte. But since everyone uses it to represent 8 bits it could be argued that it is. To be 100% correct it's better to use octet though.
