Dimitri,
The control plane is intended to control the data plane, not the
naming of data plane signals in various standards. The fact that two
names are used in SONET and SDH for the same data plane signal is not
justification for creating two encodings in the control plane.
This should be a simple thing to fix, if we (CCAMP) are willing to fix it.
Regards,
Ben

indeed but we are not discussing this issue or put this
"equivalence" under questioning (in fact this is reproduced in the
signal type 6 definition) the RFC took as logic (control plane) to
set the RCC value when the notation of the signal included a "c"
we could have created yet another exception but we did not - for
several reasons -
