How many OC-12s are in an ODU1?
An ODU1 carries 4 OC-12s, per ITU-T G.709 and Telcordia GR-253. This path maps OC-48 into ODU1 as a client, then follows that client's tributaries.

Working
ODU1 → 1 × OC-48 → 4 × OC-12
- 1 × OC-48 in each ODU1 ITU-T G.709Client mappingCBR OC-48, the same client rate as STM-16, mapped into OPU1.
- 4 × OC-12 in each OC-48 Telcordia GR-2534 × OC-12. Channelized OC-48 is 48 STS-1s.
- 1 OC-48
- 1 × 4 = 4 OC-12s
Leftover capacity
10.455126 Mbit/s of each ODU1 line rate (2.498775126 Gbit/s) sits outside 4 × 622.080 Mbit/s of OC-12 line rate (2.488320 Gbit/s). That remainder is overhead, fixed stuff or justification. It is not another whole tributary.
