This Counter64 counts path fault events on the TDM circuit underlying this pseudowire — occurrences of alarm conditions such as loss of signal or loss of frame on that TDM interface. Because this is the cumulative TdmPwTotalStatistics counter for the pseudowire, tallied since the bin's own start time rather than being reset every short collection interval, each increment here corresponds to a discrete fault condition being raised on the physical TDM path, which is the kind of event that would also trip a hardware alarm on the interface. For example, if this counter increments twice during the cumulative bin right when a TDM handoff cable was reseated, that correlation confirms the faults were caused by the physical reconnection rather than a packet-network issue.
