What does STS192 (signal) represent?

STS192 is a Synchronous Transport Signal level in the SONET family indicating an electrical framing rate of 192 × STS-1 at about 9.95328 Gbit/s, used in high-speed carrier transport.

What is T3 (payload) in this conversion?

T3 (payload) refers to the user-data throughput available on a T3/DS3 digital circuit after removing framing, signaling, and protocol overhead.

Why might the actual payload throughput differ from the conversion result?

Because factors like framing, signaling, and protocol overhead can vary, the actual payload throughput is often less than the nominal conversion rate.
