What is the relationship between STM-64 (signal) and OC192?

STM-64 (signal) and OC192 represent functionally equivalent optical line rates standardized for data transfer at approximately 10 Gbit/s within SDH and SONET systems, respectively.

Why convert between STM-64 (signal) and OC192?

Converting between these units helps in network planning and equipment interoperability by clarifying equivalent data rates across SDH and SONET frameworks.

Does this conversion consider protocol overhead or framing differences?

No, this conversion reflects only the physical line rate equivalence and does not account for overhead or signaling differences between the two standards.
