An octet is 8 bits (actually defined as 8 bits). It's used where an exact size needs to be specified, as technically a byte can be 7 bits, 8 bits, 10 bits, whatever a particular system wants it to be. However, that usage of byte is somewhat obsolete and the two terms are usually used interchangable; octet just shows up when an absolutely solid definition is needed. Regards, Ben A L Jemmett.
