What does STS192 (signal) represent?

STS192 (signal) is a synchronous transport signal level in SONET, referring to an electrical framing rate equivalent to 192 times STS-1 and an electrical counterpart to OC-192 optical signals.

How is megabyte/second (SI def.) defined?

A megabyte per second (SI definition) equals one million bytes transferred each second, using decimal units rather than binary-based measures.

Can this conversion account for network protocol overhead?

No, the conversion assumes ideal data rates and does not include overhead or error correction that might reduce effective throughput.
