How to know the units of measurements for curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:5001/api/v0/stats/bw"

Help

I have ipfs peer deployed on k8 cluster and i want to check this peer incoming and outgoing traffic using this call
https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-stats-bw
i get the response as expected

{
  "RateIn": "<float64>",
  "RateOut": "<float64>",
  "TotalIn": "<int64>",
  "TotalOut": "<int64>"
}

but i am not sure how to get the units for these values

these values change dramatically for example

for example the RateIn could be “8.752270540957012”
and two seconds later the value becomes “1258.0550467236012”
which makes be believe they can’t be of the same unit
the first time could be B/S and the second time could be KiB/s
how can i make sure of that?
