What does OC192 represent?

OC192 is an Optical Carrier level 192 line rate standardized at 9.95328 Gbit/s, commonly used in SONET optical networks to carry large digital traffic volumes.

How is megabyte per second defined in this context?

Megabyte per second refers to the rate of transferring one megabyte of data each second, with 'megabyte' potentially defined in decimal (10^6 bytes) or binary (2^20 bytes) forms.

Why convert OC192 to MB/s?

Converting OC192 to MB/s allows easier interpretation of optical carrier speeds in terms of storage and file transfer rates, aiding system performance comparisons and bandwidth planning.
