Quantity is how many containers you have. The result is how many tributaries fit, the path, and the leftover line rate. The choices stay in the URL, so you can share them.

How many E0s are in an OC-1?

An OC-1 carries 630 E0s, per Telcordia GR-253 and ITU-T G.704.

630

E0s in an OC-1

Working

OC-1 (STS-1) → 21 × E1 → 30 × E0

21 × E1 in each OC-1 (STS-1) Telcordia GR-253Seven VT groups × three VT2 (E1).
30 × E0 in each E1 ITU-T G.70430 voice channels in 32 timeslots. TS0 is framing and TS16 is channel-associated signalling.

21 E1s
21 × 30 = 630 E0s

Leftover capacity

11.520 Mbit/s of each OC-1 line rate (51.840 Mbit/s) sits outside 630 × 64 kbit/s of E0 line rate (40.320 Mbit/s). That remainder is overhead, fixed stuff or justification. It is not another whole tributary.

By bit rate only

Dividing the line rates gives 810, which floors to 810 E0s by bit rate only. The standard mapping is 630. Use the mapping.
