What does T3 (payload) represent?

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

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

Gigabit/second (SI def.) is a data transfer rate of one billion bits per second (10^9 bits/s), commonly used to measure network link capacities.
