Bits and Bytes

For clarity, bits and bytes are not abbreviated in this document, but their prefixes

are. SOMA Networks follows the common practice of using SI prefixes (base 10)

with these terms. Thus, 1 kbit/s (kilobit per second) is equivalent to 1000 bits/s;

it should not be confused with 1 Kibit/s (kilobinary bit per second) or 1 x 2

1024 bits/s.

Unless otherwise specified, SI prefixes with bits and bytes in this document refer

to a factor of 10.
