Am I right, that the throughput here is 1 Giga BYTES,

Network card speeds are listed in bits per second. These are the three
most common speeds:
10 mega bits per second
100 mega bits per second
1 giga bits per second
Don't ask me whether they're playing the SI or bullshit game regarding
mega and giga equalling millions and billions, or using 1024
multipliers.
Bits are in fact bits in this case. When you talk about packets or
frames you tend to use bytes or octets (same thing) but line rate is
bits per second.
I think the issue raised was whether 1 Gbps is 1024*1024*1024 bps or
1000*1000*1000 bps.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
