What is the actual value within the usage reports (MB or Mb?)

Hi Everyone,
Can I please have some clarity on the usage report data?
If I run a Bandwidth and Usage Report for:
Data Usage: Daily
Unit: MB
It will report, for example: For a single day 1017.36MB.

Can someone please clarify if this is in Megabytes (MB) or Megabits (Mb).

In my example, there were only very few clients connected to the system on the day and I find it unlikely they consumed 1017.36 MB (Megabyte) (8.13 Gigabit) of data.

All of the data usage values are in *bytes, whereas throughput values are in *bits.

1017.36MB (bytes indicated by the capital B) is 0.9935GB (gigabtyes).

A few clients connected to a system, depending on the clients, can easily achieve 1GB of data in short order.
