why do we show the network in
MBps
instead ofMiBps
?Uh oh!

@suomiy The last time I fell into this rabbit hole (a few months ago) I learned that networking metrics are still generally measured in Mbps (Megabits per second, note the lowercase b) largely because it has long-been the convention that "everyone" uses, even in cloud-oriented consoles where they use *iB units for everything else.
It's not the greatest reason, but it is what users currently expect for networking as far as I know. I personally can't remember ever seeing
Mibps
used elsewhere, but I'd be happy to be wrong.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Ok then. If it was decided like that.
A lot of software uses IEC binary units (KiB/s, MiB/s), e.g. curl, torrent clients.

Good to know! As a relative outsider I like KiB/s and MiB/s and would be happy to switch to that if users find it natural. Looking at what OKD and the Prometheus Dashboard currently do, it seems like they're using Kbps, right? They're a little ambiguous.

to me it seems that Prometheus dashboard uses kB/s (kBps)
