What Is This Tool?

This tool converts STS3 (payload) data transfer values, representing user data capacity in SONET OC-3 frames, into equivalent Ethernet data rates commonly used in networking environments.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in STS3 (payload) to convert
  • Select STS3 (payload) as the source unit
  • Choose Ethernet as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to get the Ethernet equivalent

Key Features

  • Converts STS3 (payload) values to corresponding Ethernet data rates
  • Based on standard SONET and Ethernet definitions
  • Useful for telecom and data center network planning
  • Browser-based and easy to use

Examples

  • 2 STS3 (payload) converts to 30.0672 Ethernet
  • 0.5 STS3 (payload) converts to 7.5168 Ethernet

Common Use Cases

  • Network capacity planning for carrier backbone links using OC-3 circuits
  • Billing and service-level agreement measurement for leased line services
  • Provisioning mixed SONET and Ethernet network segments
  • Interpreting SONET payload throughput as standard Ethernet data rates

Tips & Best Practices

  • Remember Ethernet is a protocol suite, not just a measurement unit
  • Account for framing overhead excluded from STS3 payload values
  • Use the conversion for planning and conceptual data rate equivalency
  • Verify actual network performance due to varying overhead and encapsulation

Limitations

  • Conversion reflects conceptual equivalence, not exact bit-for-bit matching
  • Ethernet speeds exist in standard increments, so fractional values may not map to physical link speeds
  • STS3 payload excludes SONET framing and overhead bytes, affecting throughput accuracy

Frequently Asked Questions

What does STS3 (payload) represent?
STS3 (payload) indicates the user-data portion of a SONET STS-3 frame, representing the bytes available for client traffic after excluding networking overhead.

Is Ethernet a unit of measurement?
No, Ethernet is a set of networking standards and protocols defining how data is formatted and transmitted over local area networks, not a standalone measurement unit.

Why does the conversion not reflect exact physical speeds?
Because Ethernet link speeds come in standard increments and STS3 payload excludes overhead bytes, the conversion gives conceptual equivalency rather than precise physical throughput.

Key Terminology

STS3 (payload)
The user-data portion of a SONET STS-3 (OC-3) frame, indicating bytes available for carrying client traffic after excluding SONET framing and overhead.
Ethernet
A family of wired networking protocols defining frame formats and link-layer behavior for local area networks over copper or fiber.
SONET
Synchronous Optical Network, a standardized digital communication protocol used to transport multiple digital bit streams over optical fiber.
