Each Event Notification TLV contains a running total of the number of times an event has occurred, as well as the number of times an Event Notification for the event has been

transmitted. For non-threshold crossing events, the number of events (dot3OamLogRunningTotal) and the number of resultant Event Notifications (dot3OamLogEventTotal) should be identical.

For threshold crossing events, since multiple occurrences may be required to cross the threshold, these values are likely different. This value represents the total number of times this event has happened since the last reset (for example, 3253, when 3253 symbol errors have occurred since the last reset, which has resulted in 51 symbol error threshold crossing events since the last reset).
