This attribute is HISTORICAL. Please refer to the attribute of the
same name in the group AtmTmOper.
This attribute indicates the set of current frame discard functions in
effect in the receive data direction at this connection point.
A value of ppd indicates that the Partial Packet Discard (PPD)
function is in effect. PPD may be applied at an interim connecting
point for a connection which is transporting frame traffic (AAL5 at
the endpoint). PPD is controlled by provisioning for PVCs and
SPVCs, and by call setup parameters in the AAL and Traffic
Descriptor Information Elements.
A value of epd indicates that the Early Packet Discard (EPD)
function is in effect at this connection endpoint. PPD and EPD are
enabled by default at a connection endpoint which is performing
AAL5 segmentation and assembly.
Frame discard functions are not applicable for Virtual Path
Connections (VPCs).
