Thank you Gerald. I will post now.

Askbot (the software that runs ask.wireshark.org) has a banned word list as part of its moderation feature. The word "spa" was in the list, which was matching the word "Spanish" in your message. I removed the offending entry, so you should be able to post now.

Hey, it was my fault, it was just a stupid thing of mine!

My computer was in Spanish and average number 1.004 actually meant one
thousand and four!!

You know this bad thing of writing numbers differently depending on the
language you are in...

I'm trying to say this at ask.wireshark.org, but I always get "Internal
Server Error" when sending my message...


Cheers

Ah, ok. I'll ask there. Thank you Chuck!

     Hi everyone, I'm new to the list.

     I am measuring data rates using Wireshark 3.2.2 and I believe some of
     the data-rate units at "Statitstics" are non-consistent with my
     tests. I
     am not 100% sure, I might be missing something, so I would like
     someone
     else to have a look.

     My believe is that the columns named "Bits/s" at tables
     Statistics -> Conversations
     Statistics -> Protocol Hierarchy
     do not measure Bits/s but a different data-rate unit, actually I
     believe
     they measure kilobit per second.

     I believe
     Statistics -> I/O Graph
     gives the correct data-rate.

     Values at I/O Graph are around 1000 times higher than those at
     Conversations and Protocol Hierarchy.

     Can anyone have a look and let me know if I am right?

     If I am, where can I ask to fix it? I am not a developer but I'd be
     happy to open an issue or whatever is needed.

     Please let me know if you think this question should go to a
     different
     Wireshark list and I will subscribe to it to ask my question.

     Cheers!
