The kilobit per second is a the unit bit for data transfer rate. The prefix kilo- (symbol k) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 103 (1 thousand), and therefore, 1 kilobit / s = 103bits / s = 1000 bits / s.
The pebibit per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix pebi (symbol Pi) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 250, and therefore 1 pebibit per second = 250 bit per second = 1125899906842624 bit per second. The pebibit per second has the unit symbol Pibit/s.
