What does bit per second [b/s] measure?

Bit per second [b/s] measures the data transfer rate as the number of binary digits transmitted or processed per second.

What is STS3c (payload) used for?

STS3c (payload) is used to carry high-bandwidth client signals over SONET optical transport networks like backbone optical links and leased-line services.

Why might small bit/second values yield very small converted STS3c values?

Because STS3c represents a high-capacity payload, converting low bit/second rates results in very small decimal values that require careful interpretation.
