When running bitmonerod and using the following bitmonerod bandwidth parameters, is the rate measured in bits or bytes?
limit_up Used within bitmonerod while running.limit_down Used within bitmonerod while running.
--limit-rate-up Command line argument for launching bitmonerod.
--limit-rate-down Command line argument for launching bitmonerod.
All of these are measured in kB (1024 bytes). See src/p2p/net_node.inl, in set_rate_up_limit.
The defaults are 2048 kB/s upload, and 8192 kB/s download. If those are near or above your connection's capabilities, you may want to lower them to a bit lower, to keep some QoS. Similarly if you have a fast connection, you might want to increase them.
