How many OC-192s are in an OTU4?

An OTU4 carries 10 OC-192s, per ITU-T G.709. This is a client mapping of OC-192 into ODU2.

OC-192s in an OTU4

Working

OTU4 → 1 × ODU4 → 10 × ODU2 → 1 × OC-192

  1. 1 × ODU4 in each OTU4 ITU-T G.709The OTU4 frame carries exactly one ODU4.
  2. 10 × ODU2 in each ODU4 ITU-T G.709Ten ODU2s use all 80 tributary slots, eight slots each.
  3. 1 × OC-192 in each ODU2 ITU-T G.709Client mappingCBR OC-192, the same client rate as STM-64, mapped into OPU2.

Leftover capacity

12.277173568 Gbit/s of each OTU4 line rate (111.809973568 Gbit/s) sits outside 10 × 9.953280 Gbit/s of OC-192 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 11.23, which floors to 11 OC-192s by bit rate only. The standard mapping is 10. Use the mapping.
