What does kilobyte per second (SI def.) mean?

It is a data transfer rate unit representing 1000 bytes transmitted each second, distinct from binary-based units.

What is an STS192 (signal) unit?

STS192 is a synchronous transport signal used in SONET networks, representing approximately 9.95328 Gbit/s electrical framing rate.

Why are the converted values so small?

Because one kilobyte per second is very small compared to the high capacity of STS192 signals, conversions typically result in small fractional values.

Common Use Cases

Reporting file transfer speeds for small files in web applications using SI units
Specifying throughput of embedded devices transmitting bytes per second
Describing storage input/output or backup rates using SI-based prefixes
Relating everyday data rates to high-capacity SONET synchronous transport signals
Designing carrier backbone and metro/core networks with SONET equipment

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure to use the SI definition (1000 bytes) when entering kilobyte per second values
Be aware that STS192 represents very high-capacity signals; expect small fractional results for typical kilobyte per second inputs
Use this conversion to help relate small-scale transfer rates to telecom infrastructure requirements
Remember that protocol overhead and real-world conditions may affect actual transmission rates

Limitations

The conversion assumes ideal conditions without accounting for protocol overhead
Kilobyte per second (SI) is much smaller compared to STS192 capacity, producing very small fractional values
Does not reflect real-world transmission inefficiencies in telecommunications networks
