samba - Mar 2003 - Throughput Reported by smbclient

Is the throughput reported by smbclient represented in kilobits per second
or kilobytes per second?

I think this figure is represented as kilobits because of the format of the
string. (i.e. 4269.23 kb/s)  Because the letters are lowercase (kb) instead
of capitals (KB).  Is this correct?

Thanks,
