What does movement speed acutally represent?

[pivot]

I'm working on a custom movement speed system for my map, so that the maximum movement speed can be exceeded by some units.

It is important that the speed scales correctly - for example, a unit with 1000 MS should move twice as fast as a unit with 500 MS

Therefore I need to get an idea of what MS acutally represents. Is it distance moved in an in-game second?

How is movement speed calculated in warcraft?

Title say's it all. . . Well basically I'm just curious on how warcraft calculates movement speed. Like for example: If movement speed is 150, how many units per unit of time (preferably second) does it move the unit.
