<TITLE>The meaning of "k" in MRTG (k Bits per Second)</TITLE>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello list.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I use MRTG on a couple of routers in my company and wanted to ask, how the data is displayed in the diagrams. I found a lot in the configuration manual and in the logfile description. But I have not found a description of what the generated "k" means. Does it actually mean<B> 1024</B> or<B> 1000</B>? My graphs are all displayed in xxxx k Bits per Second.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When I use an unscaled diagram with "MaxBytes" = 262'144 (the router has max 2048 kbit/s), the MRTG graph's top line says<U> 2120 k Bits per Second</U>. But shouldn't it display<U> 2048 k Bits per Second</U> there? (262144 byte = 262144*8 bit = 2097152 bit = 2097152/1024 kbit = 2048 kbit.)</FONT></P>
