Dimitri,
Note 2 on page 6 refers to transparent mode, which is a
different thing altogether. I think this encoding is
poorly chosen as well (and may not allow for the full
flexibility of equipment that provides various levels
of transparent STS-N/STM-N switching), but that is not
currently under discussion.
Regards,
Ben

Subject: Re: Final draft of response to the OIF
to clarify:
The example did not adhere to the rule RCC=1 implies NCC>1
which was stated in the RFC (and is technically sound) thus
one could reasonable presume the example was in error.
actually your interpretation is not correct - see note 2 of RFC 3946
(page 6) where the settings RCC=1 can imply NCC=1 is
explicitly stated -
this said, one of the reason for this setting wrt the specific point
raised by the OIF is due to the logic that has been used in
making use
of RCC and NCC value when the signal spelling include a "c" i.e.
STS-(3xN)c SPE so for STS-3c SPE the setting is a logical
consequence of
N = 1
however, editors have been using a wording for the generic rule which
has not been understood as expected hence the clarification
stated last
march on this list - and reproduced in the bis version -
in brief, all this doesn't deserve this flurry of e-mails wrt to the
specific point to be addressed
