This read-only Counter tracks the count of transmissions that ran longer than 26 milliseconds on the CPE's Ethernet interface, tallied per hourly interval. Operationally, jabbering transmissions indicate a malfunctioning transmitter that won't stop sending, which can disrupt the whole Ethernet segment. For example, if this counter increases, a technician would treat the CPE's Ethernet port as a candidate for immediate hardware replacement since jabber can degrade service for other devices sharing that segment.
