Report bytes/sec sent as well as total bytes. Useful to get rough idea how different configurations and usage patterns perform with sockmap.Why BYTES per second, and not BITS per sec?
Memory bandwidths is commonly reported in MB/s not bits/sec and also application throughput tends to be reported in B/s as well. In general it seemed more natural to map application performance to B/s. A toggle would be easy enough to report in both or just bits. On the other hand iperf/netperf seem to report bits per sec. .John
