Definitions
Table 17-27 defines the ITU G.709 and ITU-T G.8021 section monitoring trunk-side PM parameters. For 
more information, see the “17.2  Transponder and Muxponder Card Performance Monitoring” section 
on page 17-2.
LOFC Loss of Frame Count (LOFC) is a count of the lost frames.
NIOS Non-Idle Ordered Sets (NIOS) is a count of received packets 
containing non-idle ordered sets.
OPR Optical Power Received (OPR) is the measure of average optical 
power received as a percentage of the nominal OPR.
OPR-AVG Average Receive Optical Power (OPR-AVG) is the average 
received optical power measured in dBm.
OPR-MAX Maximum Receive Optical Power (OPR-MAX) is the maximum 
received optical power measured in dBm.
OPR-MIN Minimum Receive Optical Power (OPR-MIN) is the minimum 
received optical power measured in dBm.
OPT Optical Power Transmitted (OPT) is the average optical power 
transmitted as a percentage of the nominal OPT.
OPT-AVG Average Transmit Optical Power (OPT-AVG) is the average 
transmitted optical power measured in dBm.
OPT-MAX Maximum Transmit Optical Power (OPT-MAX) is the maximum 
transmitted optical power measured in dBm.
OPT-MIN Minimum Transmit Optical Power (OPT-MIN) is the minimum 
transmitted optical power measured in dBm.
OPWR-AVG Optical Power - Average (OPWR-AVG) is the measure of 
average optical power on the unidirectional port.
OPWR-MAX Optical Power - Maximum (OPWR-MAX) is the measure of 
maximum value of optical power on the unidirectional port.
OPWR-MIN Optical Power - Minimum (OPWR-MIN) is the measure of 
minimum value of optical power on the unidirectional port.
UNC-WORDS Uncorrectable Words (UNC-WORDS) is the number of 
uncorrectable words detected in the DWDM trunk line during 
the PM time interval.
VPC Valid Packets (VPC) is a count of received packets that contain 
non-errored data code groups that have start and end delimiters.
