How many OC-768s are in an ODU4?
An ODU4 carries 2 OC-768s, per ITU-T G.709. This is a client mapping of OC-768 into ODU3.

OC-768s in an ODU4
Working
ODU4 → 2 × ODU3 → 1 × OC-768
- 2 × ODU3 in each ODU4 ITU-T G.709Each ODU3 takes 31 of the 80 ODU4 tributary slots, so 2 fit and 18 slots stay unused.
- 1 × OC-768 in each ODU3 ITU-T G.709Client mappingCBR OC-768, the same client rate as STM-256, mapped into OPU3.
- 2 ODU3s
- 2 × 1 = 2 OC-768s
Leftover capacity
25.168205815 Gbit/s of each ODU4 line rate (104.794445815 Gbit/s) sits outside 2 × 39.813120 Gbit/s of OC-768 line rate (79.626240 Gbit/s). That remainder is overhead, fixed stuff or justification. It is not another whole tributary.
