bits_in, bits_out data in ITCMLocalLBNodeNodeStatistics is in bits or in bytes

Hi,

 

 

ITCMLocalLBNodeNodeStatistics o/p for get_statistics method of ITCMLocalLBNode contains bits_out, bits_in.

 

 

Can any one tell me if this data is in bits or bytes. If it is in bits can we convert these in bytes by dividing by 1024.

 

 

Thanks,

    As the names of the statistics indicate, bits_in and bits_out are the number of bits in and out, respectively. And of course, you can divide them by 8 if you wish to convert these counters to bytes, or any other unit for that matter.

    Hi Loc,

     

    Is there any specific reason, that it is in bits? Because in general bytes are more in use.
