What does SCSI (Async) mean in this context?

SCSI (Async) refers to the asynchronous data-transfer mode of the Small Computer System Interface protocol, which uses request/acknowledge handshakes without a shared clock.

Why convert SCSI (Async) to Virtual Tributary 1 (payload)?

Converting allows standardizing asynchronous SCSI device throughput for transport and integration within synchronous SONET/SDH optical networks.

Are there any limitations in this conversion?

Yes, the conversion does not consider variations in device response times or synchronous rate mismatches inherent when mapping asynchronous SCSI throughput to VT payloads.
