asynchronous
| Irregular or not synchronized. In computer communications, the term is usually applied to data transmitted irregularly rather than as a steady stream. Asynchronous communication uses start bits and stop bits to indicate the beginning and end of each piece of data. Most personal computer communications are asynchronous, including connections across the Internet. |
