A bytestream is a sequence of bytes. Typically, each byte is an 8-bit quantity , and so the term octet stream is sometimes used interchangeably. An octet may be encoded as a sequence of 8 bits in multiple different ways (see bit numbering ) so there is no unique and direct translation between bytestreams and bitstreams.
A reliable byte stream is a common service paradigm in computer networking; it refers to a byte stream in which the bytes which emerge from the communication channel at the recipient are exactly the same, and in exactly the same order, as they were when the sender inserted them into the channel.

Standardized interoperability specifications such as the video coding standards produced by the MPEG and the ITU-T, and the audio coding standards produced by the MPEG, often specify only the bitstream format and the decoding process.
The bytestream is an ordered sequence of bytes, typically used to hold file data, and the key/value pairs are typically used to hold metadata. The object-based design has become typical of many distributed file systems including Lustre , Panasas , and pNFS .
File formats often have a published specification describing the encoding method and enabling testing of program intended functionality. Not all formats have freely available specification documents, partly because some developers view their specification documents as trade secrets, and partly because other developers never author a formal specification document, letting precedent set by other ...
Image (TYPE I, commonly called Binary mode): The sending machine sends each file byte by byte, and the recipient stores the bytestream as it receives it. (Image mode support has been recommended for all implementations of FTP). EBCDIC (TYPE E): Used for plain text between hosts using the EBCDIC character set.
In cryptography, the shrinking generator is a form of pseudorandom number generator intended to be used in a stream cipher.It was published in Crypto 1993 by Don Coppersmith, Hugo Krawczyk and Yishay Mansour.
