Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm whether SI or binary gigabyte definitions apply when interpreting results.
-
Account for potential variations in B8ZS implementations affecting throughput accuracy.
-
Use this conversion as a baseline, recognizing that higher-layer protocols might add overhead.
-
Leverage conversion results to benchmark legacy telecommunications against modern data infrastructures.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes SI gigabyte definition (1 GB = 10⁹ bytes), which may differ from binary gigabytes.
-
Line coding variations and overheads can cause minor discrepancies in effective data throughput.
-
Does not consider protocol overhead or encapsulation efficiency beyond the raw payload bitstream.
-
Conversion accuracy depends on preserving B8ZS encoding context without modification.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does T0 (B8ZS payload) represent?
-
It represents a raw T-carrier bitstream encoded with Bipolar with 8-Zero Substitution used to preserve telephony/data channels for transport or analysis.
