Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (bit per second (bps)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 Ethernet = 1 × 10⁷ bit per second (bps)
Step-by-step substitution for Gigabyte Per Second → Ethernet:V(Ethernet) = V(gigabyte/second) × ( 8.589935 × 10⁹ / 1 × 10⁷ ) = V(gigabyte/second) × 858.993459
