What does OC768 stand for?

OC768 is an optical carrier rate in the SONET hierarchy with a line speed of about 39.8 Gbit/s used for high-capacity fiber-optic backbone links.

Why convert OC768 to byte per second?

Converting OC768 to bytes per second helps express data transfer rates in a more granular and commonly used unit, useful for performance comparison and analysis.

Does the conversion include protocol overhead?

No, the OC768 rate represents an ideal line speed and does not account for protocol overhead, error correction, or other practical throughput variations.
