1,000 KiB/s = 1,024 KB/s
Most data transfer rate units step by powers of ten: moving up the scale (bps → Kbps → Mbps → Gbps and beyond) means multiply by 1000, moving down means divide by 1000 — usually just a matter of shifting the decimal point. What's actually being counted underneath is bits: the binary digits, 0s and 1s, that make up every network signal.
What Is Kibibyte Per Second (KiB/s)? Definition and Uses
A kibibyte per second is 1,024 bytes per second. Binary equivalent of KB/s.
The kibibyte per second is a binary byte-based unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Like the units used to measure file size, it's one of several data measurement units that scale using either decimal multiples of 1,000 (SI) or binary steps of 1,024 (IEC).
Common uses: Linux transfer displays, precise binary measurements, technical specifications See also: Kibibytes Per Second to Megabytes Per Second.
1 KiB/s = 8,192 bits per second .
The kibibyte per second can be abbreviated as KiB/s; for example, 1 kibibyte per second can be written as 1 KiB/s.
