This read-only SSMQualityLevel object reports the Quality Level currently being transmitted on a Synchronous-Ethernet-capable Ethernet Network Port, not applicable if the port's QL Mode is disabled. It matters because downstream equipment relies on this transmitted QL to decide whether to trust this port as a timing source, so an admin needs to confirm the port is advertising the correct quality outward. For example, after the local clock source degrades to a holdover state, an admin would verify cmEthernetNetPortTransmitQL correctly reflects the lower quality so downstream nodes properly deprioritize this reference.
