Table 10-2. DS3 Performance Monitoring (PM) Mode
If provisioned in the VMR or VM modes (Table 10-2), DS3 P-bit violations and
SEFS are counted and the count is thresholded to flag detected performance
degradation of the DS3 signal incoming from the fiber.
■ Enhanced DS3 Performance Monitoring (see Table 10-14)
— CV-P Coding Violations
These errors are counted and thresholded independently for all DS3
interfaces provisioned in VM or VMR mode. When the F&M bit or
C-bit option is selected, network elements (NE) could be
provisioned in VMR or VM mode. See Table 10-3.
Table 10-3. Enhanced DS3 Performance Monitoring Modes
— Errored Seconds (ES-P)
ES-P are not counted during UAS. ES-P are counted and
thresholded independently for each DS3 path terminated by the
system.
