Counter Description
Degraded Minutes This is based on an averaging interval of one minute. An acceptable level ofperformance is achieved if the error rate does not exceed 1x 10
-6. Interruptions
due to short burst of errors need to be excluded from the measurement. Asa result, the performance is assessed over an averaging period derived byremoving the Unavailable Time and Severely Errored Seconds from the total
time. The remaining seconds are then grouped into blocks of 60.
Severely ErroredSeconds
This is a second with a bit error rate worse than 1x10 -3 during available time.
Error Free Seconds This means no errors occurred during available time.
Available Time The available time.
Unavailable Time This is considered to be either:
A period of significant disruption, and begins when an error rate exceeds
1x 10 -3 for 10 consecutive seconds
These ten Severely Errored Seconds are part of the unavailable time.
A loss of service occurs for that period.The service remains unavailable until 10 consecutive seconds with an errorrate better than 1 x10 -3 , at which point Unavailable Time terminates andAvailable Time is re-established (including the 10 second qualifying period).
In addition to the above definitions, the time when the line is in an unavailablestate is also Unavailable Time. An unavailable state can be due to:
Maintenance
Loss of Frame Alignment
Alarm Indication SignalLoss of Incoming Signal
Loss of CRC4 multiframe.
Slip Counter Slip counter is the number of slips that occurred during the total time interval.
