direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

When talking about networks, the norm is to speek of bits and powers of
10. So 1 Gbps == 1000 Kbps == 1*10^6 bps.

Also, 1000 mbit/s = 1 bps. ;)

Anyway, the documentation should be clear on the values used. And hard
limiting the transfer rate to 700 MB/s (B ~ bytes) isn't good policy,
when 10 Gbit ethernet is becoming common.
