This is the Total Time in seconds for this bin on this SONET/SDH port: the full elapsed duration of the measurement interval, per the MIB's description. TT is the denominator every other second-based counter in this same row (ES, SES, UAS, AS) gets divided by to produce a percentage -- without it, none of those raw counts on this port can be turned into the availability figure an SLA actually cares about; because this bin spans the whole current day and is still open, short error bursts get averaged into a slower-moving daily total -- useful for spotting a low-grade, chronic problem that the 15-minute bins would report as merely noisy. For a nominally 15-minute bin this would typically read 898 seconds (close to 900), and any noticeable deviation from that expected value on this port is itself a clue that the bin was clipped short by a clock adjustment or a mid-interval clear.
