As Jim explained an octet is a byte so 1 octet is 1 byte. So if you're
getting 100 octets/sec, this is the same as 100bytes/sec or 800 bits/sec.

I know octets from an IP address point, but I have a program that records
traffic in octets. How do I read that?

One octet = one byte. Since there is 8 bits in a byte you would multiple
the octets by 8 to convert to bps. I personally convert any graphs or other
data that is in octets to bps when dealing with LAN/WAN performance data.
If your talking about server throughput most people talk in bytes.

An octet = one byte, or eight bits. This term is commonly used to refer
to different portions of an IP address in dotted-decimal format. For
example, in the address 172.16.20.10, the first octect is 172, and the
second octet is 16.
I'm sure there are many other common uses of this particular te
