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-1s are in an OTU4?
An OTU4 carries 1,920 OC-1s, per ITU-T G.709 and Telcordia GR-253. This path maps OC-192 into ODU2 as a client, then follows that client's tributaries.

Working
OTU4 → 1 × ODU4 → 10 × ODU2 → 1 × OC-192 → 192 × OC-1 (STS-1)
- 1 × ODU4 in each OTU4 ITU-T G.709The OTU4 frame carries exactly one ODU4.
- 10 × ODU2 in each ODU4 ITU-T G.709Ten ODU2s use all 80 tributary slots, eight slots each.
- 1 × OC-192 in each ODU2 ITU-T G.709Client mappingCBR OC-192, the same client rate as STM-64, mapped into OPU2.
- 192 × OC-1 (STS-1) in each OC-192 Telcordia GR-253192 × OC-1 (STS-1). Channelized OC-192 is 192 STS-1s.
- 1 ODU4
- 1 × 10 = 10 ODU2s
- 1 × 10 × 1 = 10 OC-192s
- 1 × 10 × 1 × 192 = 1,920 OC-1s
Leftover capacity
12.277173568 Gbit/s of each OTU4 line rate (111.809973568 Gbit/s) sits outside 1,920 × 51.840 Mbit/s of OC-1 line rate (99.532800 Gbit/s). That remainder is overhead, fixed stuff or justification. It is not another whole tributary.
By bit rate only
Dividing the line rates gives 2,156.82, which floors to 2,156 OC-1s by bit rate only. The standard mapping is 1,920. Use the mapping.
