csDs3StatTotalPSESs is a read-only PerfTotalCount counter reporting the number of P-bit Severely Errored Seconds — a one-second period with a high density of P-bit parity errors — that this unchannelized DS3/E3 physical line has recorded summed across the entire previous 24-hour period, with any invalid 15-minute bucket counted as zero. (this counter applies only to DS3, not E3) A rising count here is the operational signal that a seriously degraded DS3 signal as seen through the P-bit check is happening on that interface, which is exactly the kind of degradation a monitoring admin wants an early warning of before it causes an outage. For example, comparing csDs3StatTotalPSESs's 24-hour rollup from one night to the next lets an admin judge whether a seriously degraded DS3 signal as seen through the P-bit check on this unchannelized DS3/E3 physical line is a one-off blip or a worsening trend.
