From: Christian Hesse <redacted> Counting bytes with a base of 1024 is ok. Counting packets, errors, etc that way makes no sense. So only print byte counts with a base of 1024 if option -iec is given. Signed-off-by: Christian Hesse <redacted>
This changes the output which users expect, especially the packet counts should follow existing practice. And I doubt anyone would have 1024 errors.
