Quantity is how many containers you have. The result is how many tributaries fit, the path, and the leftover line rate. The choices stay in the URL, so you can share them.

How many OC-48s are in an ODU3?

An ODU3 carries 16 OC-48s, per ITU-T G.709 and Telcordia GR-253. This path maps OC-768 into ODU3 as a client, then follows that client's tributaries.

Working

ODU3 → 1 × OC-768 → 16 × OC-48

1 × OC-768 in each ODU3 ITU-T G.709Client mappingCBR OC-768, the same client rate as STM-256, mapped into OPU3.
16 × OC-48 in each OC-768 Telcordia GR-25316 × OC-48. Channelized OC-768 is 768 STS-1s.

1 OC-768
1 × 16 = 16 OC-48s

Leftover capacity

506.098983 Mbit/s of each ODU3 line rate (40.319218983 Gbit/s) sits outside 16 × 2.488320 Gbit/s of OC-48 line rate (39.813120 Gbit/s). That remainder is overhead, fixed stuff or justification. It is not another whole tributary.
