Example is this line: RX bytes:95002350 (90.6 Mb) TX bytes:5550741 (5.2 Mb) "Mb" is an acronym for megabit = one million bits. But multiplying 95002350 bytes by 8, be get 760018800 bits, which is by no means equal to 90.6 Mb. Evidently, mebibytes (MiB) or megabytes (MB) shall be used instead of Mb. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Issue ifconfig -a Actual Results: Mb comes out as unit of traffic measure. Expected Results: MB, MiB, GB, GiB, or all of these units used.
