> Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

> Network monitor uses incorrect units for showing network throughput. It uses 
> MiB/sec, KiB/sec and so on.

> http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html
> Examples and comparisons with SI prefixes
> one kibibit      1 Kibit = 2^10 bit = 1024 bit
> one kilobit      1 kbit = 10^3 bit = 1000 bit
> one mebibyte     1 MiB = 2^20 B = 1 048 576 B
> one megabyte     1 MB = 10^6 B = 1 000 000 B
> one gibibyte     1 GiB = 2^30 B = 1 073 741 824 B
> one gigabyte     1 GB = 10^9 B = 1 000 000 000 B

> Specifying network throughput in some units of bytes/sec is incorrect. The
