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 STM-1s are in an OTU3?
An OTU3 carries 256 STM-1s, per ITU-T G.709 and ITU-T G.707. This path maps STM-256 into ODU3 as a client, then follows that client's tributaries.

STM-1s in an OTU3
Working
OTU3 → 1 × ODU3 → 1 × STM-256 → 256 × STM-1
- 1 × ODU3 in each OTU3 ITU-T G.709The OTU3 frame carries exactly one ODU3.
- 1 × STM-256 in each ODU3 ITU-T G.709Client mappingCBR STM-256 mapped into OPU3.
- 256 × STM-1 in each STM-256 ITU-T G.707256 × STM-1.
- 1 ODU3
- 1 × 1 = 1 STM-256
- 1 × 1 × 256 = 256 STM-1s
Leftover capacity
3.205293559 Gbit/s of each OTU3 line rate (43.018413559 Gbit/s) sits outside 256 × 155.520 Mbit/s of STM-1 line rate (39.813120 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 276.61, which floors to 276 STM-1s by bit rate only. The standard mapping is 256. Use the mapping.
