Tips & Best Practices

Always consider the context of historic modem speeds as descriptive rather than exact SI units.
Account for SONET overhead when interpreting STS24 usable payload bandwidth.
Use conversions to assist in network planning and legacy equipment integration scenarios.

Limitations

Modem (2400) is a descriptive historic classification, not an exact measurement, which may vary in practice.
STS24 rates include SONET overhead, so actual payload bandwidth is slightly less than the nominal line rate.
Significant scale differences mean direct numerical comparisons require practical context consideration.
