I was confused by the same thing; throughout section 2.2.4 it wasn't clear to me whether MB/s
meant megabytes/second or megabits/second.  Usually this abbreviation means megabytes, but the
text implied that it was megabits.  Clearing this up would make that section much... err...
clearer.

Even with that, a great article!  Thanks!
