This read-only object reports which advanced FEC hardware option is installed: none(0), turbo(1), or tpcLdpc(2). Unlike the CDD-564's read-write FEC type selector, this is a read-only capability flag reporting which optional hardware is physically installed in this specific unit, so an admin cannot enable Turbo coding on a unit that reports none(0) here -- attempting to select a turbo FEC type in the Tx or Rx FEC objects on such a unit would simply fail or be rejected. Before planning to deploy TPC/LDPC coding on a remote site to improve link margin, an admin should first poll this object on that specific unit to confirm it reports tpcLdpc(2) rather than assuming the feature is universally available across the fleet.
