What does one terabyte per second (SI def.) represent?

It is a data transfer rate equal to one terabyte or 10^12 bytes moved every second, equivalent to 8 terabits per second.

What is a Virtual Tributary 1 (payload)?

It is a sub-rate container in SONET/SDH frames used to carry lower-rate signals multiplexed into higher-rate optical transport streams.

Why convert terabyte/second to Virtual Tributary 1 payload?

To translate high data rates into standardized SONET/SDH units for network planning, bandwidth allocation, and integration with legacy telecom systems.
