Kb/s == 1024 bits per second kB/s == 1000 bytes per second KB/s == 1024 bytes per second. In the SI units, as expanded for computer folks, b == bits, B == bytes, k == 1000 and K == 1024. M == 1000000 or 2^20 (or sometimes 1024 * 1000). Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
