I'm going to be brief b/c ppl have already answered. It stands for kilobytes per second. It is a data transmission rate and usually meant in terms of internet upstream/downstream loads.
Memory on computers is put in terms of bytes.
1,000 bytes = 1 Kilobyte
1,000 kb = 1 Megabyte
1,000 mb = 1 Gigabyte
So when the term kb/s is said, it is meant to be 1,000's of bytes per second. Short, sweet, and if you have anymore questions be sure to post them again on Yahoo! Answers and great people like us will answer 24/7. Hope this answers it for you!

Don't double post. It's equivalent of spamming. Your previous post has numerous answers.
Kb/sec is a measure of data transfer speed. It means kilobit/sec.
You will hear people talking about kiloBYTE/sec. That's incorrect. Kb =kilobit. KB = kilobyte. Note the capitalization.

I'm assuming this is a transmision rate. If so, then it stand for kila-bits per second. It's basically a measure of how fast data is transmitted.
