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 DS3s are in a STM-1?

A STM-1 carries 3 DS3s, per ITU-T G.707.

3

DS3s in a STM-1

Working

STM-1 → 3 × DS3

  1. 3 × DS3 in each STM-1 ITU-T G.707Three VC-3s, each able to carry a DS3.

Leftover capacity

21.312 Mbit/s of each STM-1 line rate (155.520 Mbit/s) sits outside 3 × 44.736 Mbit/s of DS3 line rate (134.208 Mbit/s). That remainder is overhead, fixed stuff or justification. It is not another whole tributary.
