STM-16s in a STM-256

Working

STM-256 → 16 × STM-16

  1. 16 × STM-16 in each STM-256 ITU-T G.70716 × STM-16.

Leftover capacity

0 bit/s of each STM-256 line rate (39.813120 Gbit/s) sits outside 16 × 2.488320 Gbit/s of STM-16 line rate (39.813120 Gbit/s). That remainder is overhead, fixed stuff or justification. It is not another whole tributary.
