Code violations, OTU, near end receive. |
Errored seconds, OTU, near end receive. |
Severely errored seconds, OTU, near end receive. |
Severely errored frame seconds, OTU, near end receive. |
FEC corrections, OTU, near end receive. |
High correction count seconds, OTU, near end receive. |
Pre-FEC BER, OTU, near end receive. |
Pre-FEC BER (maximum), OTU, near end receive. |
Post-FEC BER estimates, OTU, near end receive. |
Q min, OTU, near end receive. This represents the Q low water mark. |
Q max, OTU, near end receive. This represents the Q high water mark. |
Q average, OTU, near end receive. This represents the average Q during the measured interval. |
Q standard deviation, OTU, near end receive. This represents the standard deviation of the Q during the measured interval. |
Uncorrected FEC block, OTU, near end receive. |
Code violations, ODU, near end receive. |
Errored seconds, ODU, near end receive. |
Severely errored seconds, ODU, near end receive. |
Unavailable seconds, ODU, near end receive. |
Failure count, ODU, near end receive. |
