It's latin for "twice".  The French use it for street addresses.  An 
address that we would write "123 1/2 Foo St" would be "123 bis r. Foux". 
Many legal systems use the same convention to add sections to legal codes, 
e.g., between sec 345 and 346 they insert 345 bis to avoid renumbering.

After bis comes ter.  I haven't seen fractional addresses beyond that 
although in latin it'd be quart. and quint.

Dunno how it made the leap from francophone law and geography to the IETF.
