3.2.8.5 Dying Gasp
Dying gasp is used to notify the far end that EFM-OAM is disabled or shut down on
the local port. The dying gasp flag is set on the OAMPDUs that are sent to the peer.
The far end can then take immediate action and inform upper layers that EFM-OAM
is down on the port.
When a dying gasp is received from a peer, the node logs the event and generates
an SNMP trap to notify the operator.
