Description: This counter is incremented by one for each

CarrierEvent on this port with ActivityDuration

less than ShortEventMaxTime. ShortEventMaxTime is

greater than 74 bit times and less than 82 bit

times. ShortEventMaxTime has tolerances included

to provide for circuit losses between a

conformance test point at the AUI and the

measurement point within the state machine.

Note: shortEvents may indicate externally

generated noise hits which will cause the repeater

to transmit Runts to its other ports, or propagate

a collision (which may be late) back to the

transmitting DTE and damaged frames to the rest of

the network.

Implementors may wish to consider selecting the

ShortEventMaxTime towards the lower end of the

allowed tolerance range to accommodate bit losses

suffered through physical channel devices not

budgeted for within this standard.

The approximate minimum time for rollover of this

counter is 16 hours.
