No it's not ok because 'K' is not a valid prefix.
And 'b' (bits) is the proper context that network
hardware and network applications use, not 'B' bytes.
Whoever wrote / maintains that doc needs to fix it.
And all posters in this thread posted invalid stuff too.

No wonder users and operators are perpetually
confused about what rates are, which rates
have significance in tor, and how to configure them.

See prior posts links wikipedia for using units / prefixes.
