What does OC24 represent?

OC24 represents a SONET transport rate equal to 24 times the base OC-1 rate, indicating an optical fiber channel capacity of 1,244.16 Mbit/s.

What is E.P.T.A. 1 (signal)?

E.P.T.A. 1 (signal) is a vendor-specific unit used to count individual signaling or control messages within a data-transfer system, rather than a fixed data quantity.

Can I use the conversion to measure data volume?

No, since E.P.T.A. 1 (signal) tracks signaling events and not data bytes, this conversion does not measure data volume or bandwidth directly.
