What does Byte/second [B/s] measure?

Byte/second [B/s] quantifies the amount of data transmitted, received, or processed each second, typically used for computer and communication data throughput.

What is a Virtual Tributary 1 (payload)?

A Virtual Tributary 1 (payload) is a sub-rate container within SONET/SDH frames designed to carry lower-rate signals multiplexed into higher-rate optical transport streams.

When should I use this conversion?

Use this conversion when you need to express data transfer rates in terms compatible with SONET/SDH networks, particularly for traffic grooming and network bandwidth management.

Facilitates mapping and multiplexing of low-rate signals into SONET/SDH streams
Browser-based and easy to use without installing software

Examples

1000 Byte/second [B/s] equals approximately 0.00518 Virtual Tributary 1 (payload)
500 Byte/second [B/s] converts to about 0.00259 Virtual Tributary 1 (payload)

Common Use Cases

Expressing digital data rates compatible with SONET/SDH network payloads
Mapping a DS1/T1 channel into a SONET frame for optical fiber transport
Combining multiple low-rate customer circuits into a high-rate payload for bandwidth management
Carrying voice or low-rate data streams through optical networks while maintaining signal timing

Tips & Best Practices

Verify that your data stream is intended for SONET/SDH network use before converting
Use this converter to assist in network traffic grooming and bandwidth allocation
Understand the role of VT payloads in synchronizing and multiplexing lower-rate channels
Cross-check conversion results when precision in telecommunications applications is critical

Limitations

Conversion depends on exact SONET/SDH payload definitions and timing conventions
Not suitable for general-purpose data rate conversions outside of optical networking
Results should be considered approximate within the context of network protocols
