And then we still have to take those Kbits and divide them by 8 to get the
bytes. Seems most non-engineer types have a hard time reading graphs from
outlike MRTG/PRTG and wonder why their input/output is not quite what they
expected.
I suppose the truth is if everyone really understood how little traffic in
terms of megabytes actually crossed the network in many under One-Billion
dollar companies, then many of these companies accounting department might
ask themselves what they are really paying for.
In the meantime, bits look like impressively large numbers to the layman.
I agree with victor on using the load-interval command to help get a more
granular view on the bps crossing the interface.
