This field reports the number of collision packets transmitted on the interface, exposed here as cienaCesPmExtendedTxRxAllTimeBinTxCollPkts. On this Ciena CES port's PM data, this is the aggregate of every collision this port has recorded regardless of retry count, so it's the top-level number to check first before drilling into the single/late/excessive collision breakdowns for this same port; and this 'all-time' counter for the extended Tx/Rx PM group has no fixed rollover schedule of its own — it just keeps accumulating from whenever the PM instance was last cleared, so a single reading only tells you the running total, not a rate. For example, a healthy port would sit at 0 for collision events in this bin; even 56 is enough to warrant a look, since this class of counter isn't supposed to move under normal operation.
