What does gigabyte/second (SI def.) represent?

It represents a data rate based on decimal units with 1 gigabyte equal to 10^9 bytes transferred each second.

What is STM-64 (signal)?

STM-64 is a high-capacity Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) signal with a line rate of approximately 10 Gbit/s used in carrier backbone networks.

Why convert from gigabyte/second to STM-64?

This helps translate common decimal data rates to equivalent SDH optical transport line rates for network design and interoperability.
