For all telecom and networking apps, 1k = 1000, not 1024.

Subject: 1000 vs 1024?
Can someone advise me when translating kilo-bit values to byte values and
vica versa.
In some lab scenario model answers there appears to me to be some
inconsistency when it comes to configuring FR broadcast traffic shaping for
example. Here's an example :
You are asked to reduce the effect of broadcast traffic flooding a FR serial
link (S0). You are given the following parameters : Q size of 80 ; 300 kbps
broadcast data rate ; 200 packets per second.
The solution needs : frame-relay broadcast-queue <Qsize> <bytes/sec>
<packets/sec>
My question is, how do I interpret the 300 kbps? Is it (300*1024)/8 or
(300*1000)/8?
This is my guess ...
frame-relay broadcast-queue 80 38400 200
