The difference between 'k' and 'K' while mentioning units of data or throughput.
k stands for kilo expressed in powers of 10, i.e., k means 1000
K stands for kilo expressed in powers of 2, i.e., K means 1024
So, 2 kb/s means 2*1000 = 2000 bits per second where as
2 Kb/s means 2*1024 = 2048 bits per second.
Not sure whether this point is known exclusively to ECE engineers because CSE engineers are acquainted with it too. Nevertheless, I feel it is worth mentioning it in this topic. :)
