A bit time is the minimum width of a 1 pulse on a network medium.
i.e. The first part of an ethernet preamble is a 64 bit on/off/on/off
pattern to synchronizes recievers at the physical layer. This 64 bit
preamble is exactly 64 bit-times. Bit times vary by Physical/MAC layer
protocols. i.e. 16mbps Token ring's bit time is 4 times shorter than 4mbps
token ring because it transmits 4 times as much data in the same timeslot.

Guys,
On the CCDA book it is mentioned that "Class 2 Fast Ethernet repeaters have
a maximum delay of 92 bit times"
Is this means that the maximum allowed delay is 92 bit per second ?
What is bit times ?
Thanks a lot....
