What is pathCACErrors?

This object counts the number of Call Admission Control (CAC) failures that occurred on a specific network path, indicating rejected connection requests due to insufficient bandwidth or resource unavailability. CAC ensures that new virtual circuit requests are only accepted when adequate network capacity exists to maintain quality-of-service standards. Network monitoring systems track this counter to assess network congestion levels and identify paths that may require capacity upgrades or load rebalancing.

Examples
