What does 1 OC48 represent in terms of data transfer?

1 OC48 denotes a standardized SONET optical transmission rate of 2.48832 Gbit/s used for high-capacity networking applications.

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

E.P.T.A. 1 (payload) is a protocol-specific unit indicating the size of user/application data in a single frame or packet, excluding overhead.

Can this conversion be used for all types of data traffic?

No, this conversion only applies to traffic using the E.P.T.A. 1 protocol over OC48 links and may not be valid for other protocols.
