Ethernet OAM includes the ability to generate and receive
event notifications to indicate various link problems. This
table contains the mechanisms to configure the thresholds to
generate the standard Ethernet OAM events.
These events are:
- Errored Symbol Period Event. Generated when the number of
symbol errors exceeds a threshold within a given window
defined by a number of symbols (e.g. 1,000 symbols out of
1,000,000 had errors).
- Errored Frame Period Event. Generated when the number of
frame errors exceeds a threshold within a given window
defined by a number of frames (e.g. 10 frames out of 1000
had errors).
- Errored Frame Event. Generated when the number of frame
errors exceeds a threshold within a given window defined
by a period of time (e.g. 10 frames in 1 second had
errors).
- Errored Frame Seconds Summary Event. Generated when the
number of errored frame seconds exceeds a threshold within
a given time period (e.g. 10 errored frame seconds within
the last 100 seconds). An errored frame second is defined
as a 1 second interval which had >0 frame errors.
