When enabling a fair queue with



sudo tc qdisc replace dev eth1 root fq maxrate 400kbps


and then showing the qdisc with



tc -g qdisc show dev eth1


yields



qdisc fq 8001: root refcnt 2 limit 10000p flow_limit 100p buckets 1024 orphan_mask 1023 quantum 3028 initial_quantum 15140 maxrate 3200Kbit refill_delay 40.0ms


Notice the maxrate now is 3200Kbit. Why are bits interpreted as bytes? kbps stands for "kilobits per second" doesn't it?



Using Ubuntu 16.04.
