How many STM-1s are in a STM-16?
A STM-16 carries 16 STM-1s, per ITU-T G.707.
16
STM-1s in a STM-16
Working
STM-16 → 16 × STM-1
- 16 × STM-1 in each STM-16 ITU-T G.70716 × STM-1.
- 16 STM-1s
Leftover capacity
0 bit/s of each STM-16 line rate (2.488320 Gbit/s) sits outside 16 × 155.520 Mbit/s of STM-1 line rate (2.488320 Gbit/s). That remainder is overhead, fixed stuff or justification. It is not another whole tributary.
