seconds recorded in the OTN section during the PM time 
interval.
ESR-SM Section Monitoring Errored Seconds Ratio (ESR-SM) shows the 
severely errored seconds ratio recorded in the OTN section 
during the PM time interval.
FC-SM Section Monitoring Failure Counts (FC-SM) shows the failure 
counts recorded in the OTN section during the PM time interval.

the severely errored seconds recorded in the OTN section during 
the PM time interval.
SESR-SM Section Monitoring Severely Errored Seconds Ratio 
(SESR-SM) shows the severely errored seconds ratio recorded 
in the OTN section during the PM time interval.
UAS-SM Section Monitoring Unavailable Seconds (UAS-SM) shows the 
unavailable seconds recorded in the OTN section during the PM 
time interval.
