This sets the global default number of test frames sent in a Synthetic Loss Measurement (SLM, Y.1731) test when a specific test instance doesn't override it, controlling the sample size used to estimate frame loss for a maintenance association. An admin raises this default to get a statistically more reliable loss estimate at the cost of a longer test duration and more test traffic overhead on the link. For example, cienaCesCfmGlobalSLMDefaultCount set to 100 means any SLM test that doesn't specify its own count will send 100 synthetic test frames before reporting a loss percentage.
