I was trying to understand the difference between an octet and a byte. Both mean the same thing essentially (8-bits). However, octet is used to remove any ambiguity.&#xA;&#xA;The byte, is typically used to describe storage units that vary in sizes. Octet, is common in telecommunications and networking contexts.&#xA;&#xA;So, the difference between octet and byte is mostly in the usage and context. They both refer to eight bits, but octet is more specific and unambiguous than byte.</html></oembed>
