Hello Dimitri,
You quoted T1.105:
--8<-- snipped
> Standard contiguous concatenated STS-Nc SPE is actually STS-3c-Xc SPE > with N=3X and X=4,16,64,... which explains the coding with a STS-3c SPE > elementary signal and NCC=X. So we code the STS-Nc SPE and VC-4-Xc > identical (examples 3 and 9) but not their base signal ?!?...
i refer you to section 7.3.1 of ANSI T1.105 - 2001 (aka SONET base spec) you will that your interpretation is not the one specified in this recommendation
" Super rates services are mapped into and transported as STS-Nc SPE [N=3X there X = 1, 4, 16, 64 or 256]"
Somehow you left out the last part between the square brackets: "or SDH VC-4 or VC-4-Xc, where X=N/3]"
This clearly means that an STS-3c == VC-4 == super rate of STS-1.
this is exactly what we used in RFC 3946
