This reports the holdoff timer, in milliseconds, for the east link of this ring, delaying fault reporting to RAPS to let a faster underlying protection mechanism react first. An admin should expect the east and west holdoff values to often be configured symmetrically on a given ring, so a value here that differs significantly from the west holdoff on the same ring is worth double-checking, since it could be an intentional asymmetric design or a configuration mistake. For example, if the west holdoff is 200ms but this east-side value is left at the default 0ms, a fault on the east side would be reported to RAPS immediately while a west-side fault would first wait 200ms.
