I concur with Carsten.
There is YANG modeling work currently ongoing in CCAMP where we are
dealing with analog bandwidth (DWDM transport networks), which is
measured in Hz, kHz, MHz, GHz, and THz.
So, the term bandwidth describing a data rate or bit rate has always
been confusing in the DWDM network context. In this context we are also
modeling the digital data flow carried by
a modulated optical carrier, where the analog bandwidth is an important
property.
Thanks,

The description of bandwidth-ieee-float32 says:
The units are octets per second.
The quantity you are looking for is called “bit rate” (IEC 80000:13, item
number 13-13).
Its unit is bit/s.
A single 64-bit integer should give you both the range and the precision you
need for all practical applications outside millibit networks (“LPWANs”).
As does an IEEE 754 binary64 float (and, probably, a binary32), which will even
cover millibit networks.
If you prefer software floating point, you can add an exponent.
A practical base could be 1000, so an exponent of 0 is bit/s, 1 is kbit/s, 2 is
Mbit/s, 3 is Gbit/s, 4 is Tbit/s, and so on. -1 and -2 would be mbit/s and
µbit/s, units maybe many of you aren’t as familiar with.
Grüße, Carsten
