CoCdlFlowDefectIndStatus
This reflects the status of the CDL flow defect indications. The end-to-end path forward defect indication is implicit, i.e. it is not signalled using a bit. An end-to-end path forward defect is inferred when no CDL Ethernet or Idle packets with a given CDL flow identifier value are received over a pre-determined length of time. The end-to-end path backward defect indication is signalled using one of the CDL Defect Indication bits in the CDL OAM field.

A bit value of '0' indicates the absence of a defect.
