Yeah, after hours of running some results seems wrong, hopefully is not
broken on my missing part of converting a float to network byte order.

I'm measuring characteristics as they matter to applications and users, who measure things in bytes and frames per second, not bits and milliseconds. It is also much easier to get nontechnical people (who tend to be in charge of budgets) to respond to bigger-is-better numbers. 

Understood your PoV, sadly even my bosses (who lacks any degree of
technicallity) knows that the Internet is sold to us in Mb/s (decimal)
and delay (as he call it) is measured in ms.

Good luck doing that nontechnical people use a CLI tool! ;)
