  M = megabits = (1000)*kilo

  G = gigabits = (1000)*mega = (1000)*(1000)*kilo

  T = terabits = (1000)*giga = (1000)*(1000)*(1000)*kilo.

  P = petabits = (1000)*tera = (1000)*(1000)*(1000)*(1000)*kilo.
 
  I'm inclined to think if it's reporting peta-bit transfer rates,
there is some error in the data collection process.  I don't think I've
ever worked on a machine that could even achieve petabit transfer rates
to /dev/null.  :-)
