KBPS, KBPS
1. where 1 KBps = 1 thousand (10^3) bytes per second where 1 byte = 1 octet. Note: metric data transmission rates notation uses powers of 10 while metric data storage capacity notation uses powers of 2. When using Kilo, 10^3 < 2 ^10 , hence a 1 KBps data stream transmits 24 bytes less than 1KB of data in a second. For larger units (e.g., Giga) this difference becomes very significant when calculating bandwidth usage. 2. where 1 Kbps = 1 thousand (10^3) bits per second.
