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

Byte/second [B/s] quantifies the rate of digital data transfer, representing one byte transmitted or processed each second.

What is a Virtual Tributary 6 (VT6) payload?

VT6 is a SONET/SDH virtual tributary container designed to carry lower-rate plesiochronous PDH payloads within higher-rate optical payload envelopes.

Why convert from B/s to VT6 payload units?

Converting enables the mapping of general digital throughput into SONET/SDH standardized containers for efficient low-rate data transport in optical networks.
