How many STM-1s are in an ODU4?

An ODU4 carries 640 STM-1s, per ITU-T G.709 and ITU-T G.707. This path maps STM-64 into ODU2 as a client, then follows that client's tributaries.

STM-1s in an ODU4

Working

ODU4 → 10 × ODU2 → 1 × STM-64 → 64 × STM-1

  1. 10 × ODU2 in each ODU4 ITU-T G.709Ten ODU2s use all 80 tributary slots, eight slots each.
  2. 1 × STM-64 in each ODU2 ITU-T G.709Client mappingCBR STM-64 mapped into OPU2.
  3. 64 × STM-1 in each STM-64 ITU-T G.70764 × STM-1.

Leftover capacity

5.261645815 Gbit/s of each ODU4 line rate (104.794445815 Gbit/s) sits outside 640 × 155.520 Mbit/s of STM-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 673.83, which floors to 673 STM-1s by bit rate only. The standard mapping is 640. Use the mapping.
