How many STM-4s are in an OTU4?
An OTU4 carries 160 STM-4s, 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-4s in an OTU4
Working
OTU4 → 1 × ODU4 → 10 × ODU2 → 1 × STM-64 → 16 × STM-4
- 1 × ODU4 in each OTU4 ITU-T G.709The OTU4 frame carries exactly one ODU4.
- 10 × ODU2 in each ODU4 ITU-T G.709Ten ODU2s use all 80 tributary slots, eight slots each.
- 1 × STM-64 in each ODU2 ITU-T G.709Client mappingCBR STM-64 mapped into OPU2.
- 16 × STM-4 in each STM-64 ITU-T G.70716 × STM-4.
- 1 ODU4
- 1 × 10 = 10 ODU2s
- 1 × 10 × 1 = 10 STM-64s
- 1 × 10 × 1 × 16 = 160 STM-4s
Leftover capacity
12.277173568 Gbit/s of each OTU4 line rate (111.809973568 Gbit/s) sits outside 160 × 622.080 Mbit/s of STM-4 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 179.73, which floors to 179 STM-4s by bit rate only. The standard mapping is 160. Use the mapping.
