My understanding is:
1 kilobit = 1000 bits
1 kilobyte (1 KB) = 1024 bytes

Subject: Question about defining bandwidth. Queues, etc
Many times in lab scenarios and in the lab itself, it asks to set a limit or
size to 28K, for example. In some cases, the actual configuration calls for
bits, not kbits. In those cases, invariably the lab solution or example
will show the config as being 28000. I can live with that, but am curious.
Shouldn't this really be a multiple of 1024? At one time, that was the
definition of K, but I know over time, the definition has loosened up a lot.
Just curious, does anyone EVER use k in the original form these days, or
does K now mean 1000 always?
