SESR-P

 

Path Severely Errored Second Ratio (SESR-P) is the ratio of SES to total

 

 

 

 

 

 

seconds in available time during a fixed measurement interval.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SESR-PM

 

Path Monitoring Severely Errored Seconds Ratio (SESR-PM) indicates the

 

 

 

 

 

 

severely errored seconds ratio recorded in the OTN path during the PM

 

 

 

 

 

 

time interval.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SES-SM

 

Section Monitoring Severely Errored Seconds (SES-SM) indicates the

 

 

 

 

 

 

severely errored seconds recorded in the OTN section during the PM time

 

 

 

 

 

 

interval.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tx AISS-P

 

Transmit Path Alarm Indication Signal (AISS-P) means that an alarm

 

 

 

 

 

 

indication signal occurred on the transmit end of the path. This parameter

 

 

 

 

 

 

is a count of seconds containing one or more AIS defects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tx BBE-P

 

Transmit Path Background Block Error (BBE-P) is an errored block not

 

 

 

 

 

 

occurring as part of an SES.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tx ES-P

 

Transmit Path Errored Second (ES-P) is a one-second period with one or

 

 

 

 

 

 

more errored blocks or at least one defect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tx ESR-P

 

Transmit Path Errored Second Ratio (ESR-P) is the ratio of errored seconds

 

 

 

 

 

 

to total seconds in available time during a fixed measurement interval.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tx SES-P

 

Transmit Path Severely Errored Seconds (SES-P) is a one-second period

 

 

 

 

 

 

containing 30 percent or more errored blocks or at least one defect; SES is

 

 

 

 

 

 

a subset of ES.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tx SESR-P

 

Transmit Path Severely Errored Second Ratio (SESR-P) is the ratio of SES

 

 

 

 

 

 

to total seconds in available time during a fixed measurement interval.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tx UAS-P

 

Transmit Path Unavailable Seconds (UAS-P) is a count of one-second

 

 

 

 

 

 

intervals when the E-1 path is unavailable on the transmit end of the signal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The E-1 path is unavailable when ten consecutive SESs occur. The ten

 

 

 

 

 

 

SESs are included in unavailable time. After the E-1 path becomes

 

 

 

 

 

 

unavailable, it becomes available when ten consecutive seconds occur with

 

 

 

 

 

 

no SESs. The ten seconds with no SESs are excluded from unavailable

 

 

 

 

 

 

time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tx BBER-P

 

Transmit Path Background Block Error Ratio (BBER-P) is the ratio of BBE

 

 

 

 

 

 

to total blocks in available time during a fixed measurement interval. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

count of total blocks excludes all blocks during SESs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tx EB-P

 

Transmit Path Errored Block (EB-P) indicates that one or more bits are in

 

 

 

 

 

 

error within a block.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UAS

 

Path Unavailable Seconds (UAS) is a count of the seconds when the VC

 

 

 

 

 

 

path was unavailable. A high-order path becomes unavailable when ten

 

 

 

 

 

 

consecutive seconds occur that qualify as HP-SESs, and it continues to be

 

 

 

 

 

 

unavailable until ten consecutive seconds occur that do not qualify as

 

 

 

 

 

 

HP-SESs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UASCP-P

 

Unavailable Seconds CP-bit Path (UASCP-P) is a count of one-second

 

 

 

 

 

 

intervals when the DS3 path is unavailable. A DS3 path becomes

 

 

 

 

 

 

unavailable when ten consecutive SESCP-Ps occur. The ten SESCP-Ps are

 

 

 

 

 

 

included in unavailable time. After the DS3 path becomes unavailable, it

 

 

 

 

 

 

becomes available when ten consecutive seconds with no SESCP-Ps occur.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ten seconds with no SESCP-Ps are excluded from unavailable time.
