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 E4s are in a STM-16?
A STM-16 carries 16 E4s, per ITU-T G.707. This is a client mapping of E4 into STM-1.

Working
STM-16 → 16 × STM-1 → 1 × E4
- 16 × STM-1 in each STM-16 ITU-T G.70716 × STM-1.
- 1 × E4 in each STM-1 ITU-T G.707Client mappingAsynchronous E4 mapped into the C-4 / VC-4. This client holds 64 E1s internally; the VC-12 tributary count of an STM-1 is 63.
- 16 STM-1s
- 16 × 1 = 16 E4s
Leftover capacity
260.096 Mbit/s of each STM-16 line rate (2.488320 Gbit/s) sits outside 16 × 139.264 Mbit/s of E4 line rate (2.228224 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 17.86, which floors to 17 E4s by bit rate only. The standard mapping is 16. Use the mapping.
