As the saying goes "Use the source, Luke"...
In src/net.c in the upstream tarball I find the following at line 1156:
static GkrellmSizeAbbrev current_bytes_abbrev[] =
{
{ KB_SIZE(1), 1, "%.0f" },
{ KB_SIZE(20), KB_SIZE(1), "%.1fK" },
{ MB_SIZE(1), KB_SIZE(1), "%.0fK" },
...
So it would appear to indicate kiloBYTES.
