Hi Pierre, A bit-time is the time it takes to send a bit.
For 10Mb Ethernet a bit-time is a 100 nanoseconds (10 Megabit per second, so 1 bit per 100 nanoseconds), for Fast Ethernet it is 10 nanoseconds and so on. So if a workstation on a Fast Ethernet network were to wait 5 bit-times, it actually waits 50 nanoseconds.
