How many E2s are in an ODU4?

An ODU4 carries 7,680 E2s, per ITU-T G.709, ITU-T G.707 and ITU-T G.702. This path maps STM-64 into ODU2 as a client, then follows that client's tributaries.

E2s in an ODU4

Working

ODU4 → 10 × ODU2 → 1 × STM-64 → 64 × STM-1 → 3 × E3 → 4 × E2

  1. 10 × ODU2 in each ODU4 ITU-T G.709Ten ODU2s use all 80 tributary slots, eight slots each.
  2. 1 × STM-64 in each ODU2 ITU-T G.709Client mappingCBR STM-64 mapped into OPU2.
  3. 64 × STM-1 in each STM-64 ITU-T G.70764 × STM-1.
  4. 3 × E3 in each STM-1 ITU-T G.707Three VC-3s, each carrying an E3.
  5. 4 × E2 in each E3 ITU-T G.702Four E2s.

Leftover capacity

39.913805815 Gbit/s of each ODU4 line rate (104.794445815 Gbit/s) sits outside 7,680 × 8.448 Mbit/s of E2 line rate (64.880640 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 12,404.64, which floors to 12,404 E2s by bit rate only. The standard mapping is 7,680. Use the mapping.
