a net in eagle is a number of pins that are electically connected
together - kind of the way you would logically think of it. It has a
name. You dont have to actually draw them as connected. Any nets
you name Gnd, for example, will be connected together. This is
great for doing a schematic with out making a wiring mess in the
drawing. I use it all the time.
A bus is a set of parallel nets with a common name, say "Bus", and
each net has a sub name - Bus1, Bus2, Bus3... Its used mainly for,
shock!, creating busses and keeping them tidy on the schematic.
