This counts Line-layer Unavailable Seconds on this SONET/SDH port: seconds during the bin in which the Line signal was considered unavailable, per the MIB's description. UASL is the number that goes directly into a Line-layer availability calculation for this port -- unlike ESL/SESL it reflects sustained outage time rather than isolated error seconds, so it's the figure typically quoted when a carrier has to explain a Line outage on this circuit to a customer; as a 'total' bin it never rolls over on its own the way the shorter interval bins do -- it only resets on an explicit clear or a card reset, so a high count here just reflects long uptime, not necessarily an active problem. For this bin, 2 unavailable seconds at the Line layer, divided by the bin's Total Time, gives the exact downtime percentage an admin would report for this port over that interval.
