How many STM-1s are in an OTU2?

An OTU2 carries 64 STM-1s, 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-1s in an OTU2

Working

OTU2 → 1 × ODU2 → 1 × STM-64 → 64 × STM-1

  1. 1 × ODU2 in each OTU2 ITU-T G.709The OTU2 frame carries exactly one ODU2.
  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.

Leftover capacity

755.945316 Mbit/s of each OTU2 line rate (10.709225316 Gbit/s) sits outside 64 × 155.520 Mbit/s of STM-1 line rate (9.953280 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 68.86, which floors to 68 STM-1s by bit rate only. The standard mapping is 64. Use the mapping.
