What does STS192 (signal) represent?

STS192 (signal) is a synchronous transport signal level in SONET indicating an electrical transport rate of 9.95328 Gbit/s, used in telecom carrier networks.

Why convert STS192 to gigabyte/second (SI def.)?

Converting allows for expressing telecom signal data rates in decimal-based gigabytes per second, facilitating easier comparison and specification across networking and storage domains.

Does this conversion account for protocol overhead?

No, the conversion assumes ideal throughput and does not consider overhead such as encoding or error correction in real SONET links.
