Doc file says:

The following values are displayed for both directions of data-flow:

- total bytes transferred through this interface
- average bytes per seconds transferred (in the last three seconds)
- maximum average bytes per seconds

- Reset Max : resets the "max cps"-values to zero

Display says:

Nominal speed: 10000000 bps
Estimated cps
Max cps

Bps, cps ? The last time I encountered cps it was cycles per second.
That was before someone decided a guy named Heinrich Hertz had been
ignored by the industry and put his name on the unit of measure for
frequency.

In IP Speed what is cps and how does it relate to advertised transfer
rate? I have been paying for 768K and Max cps has never been to six
digits.
